Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for topping)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add 0.5 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch to the apples. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and 0.5 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 6

Mix in the vanilla extract, followed by the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Stir until the mixture comes together to form a crumbly dough.

Step 7

Sprinkle the sugar cookie dough in small, uneven chunks over the apple mixture, covering as much surface as possible.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Let the Sugar Cookie Apple Crisp cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
