Ingredients

• 6 medium Granny Smith apples
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray and set aside.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Toss until the apples are evenly coated, then transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk to mix.

Step 5

Add the melted butter, whole milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until a smooth batter forms.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish, spreading it gently with a spatula if necessary to cover the apples.

Step 7

Drizzle 1/4 cup of water over the top of the batter. This helps create a slightly caramelized crust during baking.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
