Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add 0.5 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, salt, and cornstarch to the apples. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and 0.5 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the vanilla extract, followed by the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Stir until the mixture comes together to form a crumbly dough.
Sprinkle the sugar cookie dough in small, uneven chunks over the apple mixture, covering as much surface as possible.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
Let the Sugar Cookie Apple Crisp cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
