5 cups tart apples, cored, peeled, and sliced
3/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup flour, sifted
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp butter, softened
1 egg, slightly beaten
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium bowl, combine apples, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, vanilla and water.
Pour into a lightly buttered 9-inch square pan.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, butter, and egg until batter is smooth.
Drop batter in 9 globs over the apples, spacing evenly. (Batter will spread during baking.)
Bake 35 to 40 minutes at 375 degrees, or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown.
