Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 5 medium apples (firm and tart, like Granny Smith), peeled and sliced
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (for apples)
- 170g (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted
- 180g (3/4 cup) granulated sugar (for topping)
- 120g (1 cup) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish.
- Toss sliced apples with cinnamon and 2 tbsp sugar. Spread evenly in prepared dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, flour, vanilla, egg, and salt until smooth and thick.
- Pour batter over apples and spread gently to cover most of the fruit.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden and slightly crisp.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- No pie crust needed—this batter bakes into a soft, crisp-topped cake layer.
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for best flavor balance.
- Optional: add a handful of chopped nuts or oats for extra texture.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
