Ingredients
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried rosemary leaves
  • 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 lemon Zest (grated rind)
  • 1.5 lb Apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 5 cups)
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dried rosemary, crushed fine
  • 3 tablespoon Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/3 cup Light cream or milk
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 450F (230C).
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and dried rosemary leaves. Stir gently until the apples are evenly coated.
  3. 3
    Transfer the apple mixture to a 9-inch pie plate, heavy baking dish, or single-layer cake pan.
  4. 4
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and dried rosemary, crushed fine.
  5. 5
    Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or two knives to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
  6. 6
    Pour in the cream or milk and stir with a fork until a soft, shaggy dough forms.
  7. 7
    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 10-12 times to bring it together.
  8. 8
    Roll or pat the dough into a circle large enough to cover the baking dish. Place the dough over the apple filling.
  9. 9
    Seal the edges of the dough to the dish and cut several slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
  10. 10
    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  11. 11
    Let cool slightly before serving warm.

Note

For the best flavor, use a mix of apple varieties such as Granny Smith for tartness and Honeycrisp for sweetness.

If you prefer a crumbly topping instead of a rolled crust, drop spoonfuls of the dough over the apples rather than rolling it out.

Serve with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla bean custard for a richer experience.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350F for 10-15 minutes to restore crispness.
