Ingredients

• 4 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 0.5 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 tablespoon Powdered Sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or spray it with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and coated in the spiced sugar mixture. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. The batter should have a consistency similar to pancake batter.

Step 5

Spread the cooked apple mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie dish.

Step 6

Pour the batter over the apple mixture, spreading it gently so it coats the apples evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for garnish.

Step 9

Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
