- 1 cup water or apple juice
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan lightly with cooking spray or butter.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the packed brown sugar, water or apple juice, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to dissolve the cornstarch.
- Add the peeled and sliced apples and cook over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring gently until the apples begin to soften and the mixture thickens.
Assembly
- Pour the cooked apple filling evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and melted butter, stirring until just combined.
- Pour the batter evenly over the apples and sprinkle the top lightly with ground cinnamon.
Baking
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for about 38–40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
