Ingredients

• 4 medium (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced) Apples
• 2 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons (for dusting) Powdered sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or butter a 9-inch pie plate.

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss the thinly sliced apples with melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the apple slices evenly in the greased pie plate, slightly overlapping them for even coverage.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

In another bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined and smooth. The batter will be thin.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly over the apples, spreading gently with a spoon if necessary to ensure it reaches all edges.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. As it cools, the batter will firm up and create a soft crust-like layer.

Step 10

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
