Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 5 cups apples, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Cake Topping

  • 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 to 1 cup butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apple Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and vanilla extract. Add the peeled and chopped apples, mixing thoroughly until the spices evenly coat the fruit. Spread this apple mixture evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Make the Topping: Using the same bowl (no need to clean it), stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well mixed. Evenly pour this dry topping mixture over the layered apples in the baking dish, spreading it out smoothly.
  3. Add Butter: Slowly drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mixture, tilting the pan if needed to help the butter cover as much of the surface as possible. This ensures a moist and crisp topping.
  4. Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is lightly browned and the mixture is bubbly.
  5. Serve: Allow the cake to cool slightly if desired. Enjoy warm or cold, either on its own or accompanied by milk, whipped cream, or ice cream for an indulgent touch.

Notes

  • Using 3/4 cup of butter will give a slightly lighter topping, while 1 cup will produce a richer, more buttery crust.
  • You can substitute the apples with other fruits like peaches or pears for variation.
  • For easier cleanup, line the baking dish with parchment paper before greasing.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
