There’s nothing that says “Autumn is here!!” like the smell of apples baking with cinnamon and nutmeg. Here at the Grove Artisan Kitchen, we add the flare of locally-grown dates for a little surprise flavor.
Filling:
- 6 cups green apples (peeled/sliced)
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar brown sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (fresh grated)
- 1 vanilla stick, cleaned
- 6 dates pitted and small diced soaked until tender in 1/4 cup hot water
- 1-1/2 tablespoon butter
Topping:
- 1 cup flour
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 egg
In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients (except butter), gently in a toss-like motion. Pour this mixture into a pie dish, or square baking dish that is lightly buttered or sprayed with non-stick spray. Then place butter on top of filling in the center.
Prepare topping by mixing all topping ingredients in a separate medium bowl. Mix with a spoon until batter is smooth. Drop batter on top of the filling with a spoon, as evenly as possible.
The batter will spread while being cooked.
Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy!!
