Equipment

  • 10 inch round baking dish (glass or metal)

Ingredients

  • 4 large apples peeled and thinly sliced (I like to use Granny Smith Apples)
  • 1 lemon (zest + juice)
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon or to taste
  • 240 g all-purpose flour 8.5 oz
  • 280 g granulated sugar 9.9 oz
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 125 g melted butter 4.4 oz
  • 3 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
  • Peel and thinly slice the apples, then toss them with cinnamon, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
    4 large apples, 1 lemon (zest + juice), 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
    240 g all-purpose flour, 280 g granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 pinch salt
  • Arrange the apples in the dish, then sprinkle the dry mixture evenly over the top.
  • Pour the lightly beaten eggs over the dry mixture, then drizzle the melted butter on top.
    3 eggs, 125 g melted butter
  • Sprinkle with sugar.
    1 tablespoon sugar
  • Bake for 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden and crunchy
  • Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Notes:
  • Dry spots: If the topping comes out with a few dry bits, brush lightly with melted butter and bake 1 extra minute if desired.
  • Apple choice: Tart apples like Granny Smith work best to balance sweetness, but Gala or Honeycrisp are fine if you prefer a sweeter dessert.
  • Serving & storage: Best served warm with vanilla ice cream. Keeps up to 4 days in the fridge.
