Equipment
- 9x9 baking pan
Ingredients
Sugars and Spices
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar tightly packed
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Apples and Toppings
- 4-5 large apples peeled, cored, and sliced about ⅓" - ½" thick (this is about 3 lbs -- I like to use Honeycrisp or Gala)
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup chopped walnuts optional
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter cut into 6 pieces
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and lightly grease a deep 9x9 pan with butter.
- In a large bowl, stir together your sugars, cinnamon, and cornstarch until well-combined.
- Add the apples and toss until well coated. Sprinkle with lemon juice and add walnuts (if using) and stir again until well-combined.
- Transfer apple mixture into your prepared baking pan (be sure to scrape out all sugar/juice from the bowl) and dot with butter pieces.
- Cover pan with foil and transfer to 375F (190C) oven. Bake for 60 minutes or until apples are tender when pierced with a fork, stopping every 15 minutes to stir apples.
- Serve warm, top with ice cream if desired.
