Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Remove 1 cup of the crumb mixture and set it aside for the topping.
In the remaining crumb mixture, add the egg, mix well, and press it evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
In another bowl, whisk together the sour cream and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread the sour cream mixture evenly over the crust.
Arrange the thinly sliced apples on top of the sour cream layer, overlapping slightly if needed.
In a small bowl, mix the reserved crumb mixture with the ground cinnamon and brown sugar.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar crumb topping evenly over the apples.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the dessert to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
Serve and enjoy!
