Ingredients
- 6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced (about 6 medium apples)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter, cubed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Topping: 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Topping: 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- Topping: 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Topping: 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Topping: 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- Topping: 3/4 cup whole milk
- Topping: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice.
- Mix the sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg, toss with the apples, spread in the dish and dot with the butter.
- For the topping, whisk the flour, both sugars, baking powder and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs, then stir in the milk and vanilla just until combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of topping over the apples, leaving some gaps.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden and bubbling at the edges.
- Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Granny Smith apples hold their shape best. Avoid Red Delicious or Gala, which turn mushy.
