🍏 Ingredients:
For the Apples:

- 1/4 cup sugar, mixed with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (reserved for sprinkling)
For the Topping:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar (reserve 1/4 cup for the cinnamon sugar)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or margarine)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
🍏 Directions:
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2️⃣ Prepare the Apples:
Peel and slice enough apples to cover the bottom of an 8-inch pie plate. Arrange the apple slices evenly in the dish.
3️⃣ Make Cinnamon Sugar:
In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the sliced apples.
4️⃣ Prepare the Topping:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining 3/4 cup of sugar, melted butter, flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract until smooth.
5️⃣ Top the Apples:
Spoon the topping mixture over the apples, spreading it as evenly as possible.
6️⃣ Bake:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and firm to the touch.
7️⃣ Serve:
Allow the apple crisp to cool slightly before serving. For the ultimate experience, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
🍏 Notes:
- Feel free to adjust the sugar and cinnamon to your taste.
- If you prefer a thinner or crispier topping, you can reduce the flour slightly.
- This recipe works well with different apple varieties, but Granny Smith apples offer a nice tart contrast to the sweet topping.
