Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 150 grams Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 200 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 80 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press two-thirds of the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Arrange the apple slices on top in an even layer.
Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture over the apples. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
While the base is baking, prepare the creamy topping. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Gradually add the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture becomes thick and fluffy.
Let the baked apple slice cool completely in the pan. Spread the creamy topping evenly over the cooled base.
Chill the apple slice in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set the topping.
Cut into squares or slices and serve. Store any leftovers (if there are any!) in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
