Hands down, my favorite fall dessert. Have I said that before? I really mean it this time. And honestly, it’s one of my all-time favorite desserts, period. It’s simple to make, yet it’s just the kind of homemade goodness we all need now and then. Nope, no chocolate; just all the flavors of fall in this easy, fantastic dessert.
Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine 1 stick of softened butter
with 1 cup of sugar.
Add 1 egg. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, mix together:
1 c. flour,
1/2 tsp. baking soda,
1/2 tsp. baking powder,
1/4 tsp. salt,
and 1 tsp. (make it heaping) cinnamon.
Add dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixture. Peel and slice very thinly 3 medium apples, or enough to equal about 1 1/2 cups.
Add the apples to the batter, and spread into a buttered 8×8″ pan.
Sprinkle the top with a bit of cinnamon sugar.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
Make sure you have vanilla ice cream on hand as well as caramel or butterscotch topping! So drool-worthy, friends. Enjoy!
