Ingredients

Scale

Apple Base

4 rounded cups apples (gala recommended) – peeled, cored, and sliced *

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

2 Tablespoons brown sugar – packed

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Streusel Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour – spooned and leveled, see note **

1/3 cup brown sugar – packed

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 Tablespoons unsalted butter – melted

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

 Make the Apple Base

  1. Peel, core, and slice your apples (4 rounded cups or roughly 6 apples – peeled, cored, and sliced) into medium slices, about a centimeter thick.
  2. Add the apples to an 8×8 baking dish.
  3. Top the apples with lemon juice (1 Tablespoon), vanilla extract (1 Tablespoon), brown sugar (2 Tablespoons – packed), and ground cinnamon (1/4 teaspoon).
  4. Gently stir to evenly coat the apples.

Make the Streusel Topping

  1. In a mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour (1 cup – spooned and leveled, see note **), brown sugar (1/3 cup – packed), kosher salt (1/4 teaspoon), and ground cinnamon (1/8 teaspoon).
  2. Stir with a fork until combined and no white sections of flour are left.
  3. Pour the melted unsalted butter (4 Tablespoons) evenly over the top of the dry mixture.
  4. Combine everything in the bowl with a fork until you get a crumbly mixture with no clear wet patches.
  5. Evenly pour the streusel topping over the apples in your baking dish. Give the dish a gentle shake to even out the topping.

Bake for 35 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Allow to cool slightly before eating. Best enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream 🙂

Notes

* I used 6 medium apples

** To get the most accurate measurement of flour, you need to spoon the flour into the measuring cup and then use the flat spine of a knife or the handle of your spoon to level the cup. We do it this way because scooping the flour directly from the bag can result in a very dense cup of flour that uses more flour than the recipe calls for.
