Ingredients
  

Spiced Apple Filling
  • 5 Large Apples peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4" thick
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar packed
  • 3 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Ground cardamom
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
Buttermilk Topping
  • 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup Granulated sugar divided
  • 3/4 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 cup Cold butter cubed
  • 1/2 cup Buttermilk

Method
 

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  2. Mix Fruit: Toss the apples with the lemon juice, brown sugar, 3 tbsp flour, and spices. Spread evenly into the dish.
  3. Make Dough: Whisk 3/4 cup flour, 2 tbsp sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until it looks like crumbs. Stir in buttermilk until just combined.
  4. Assemble: Drop spoonfuls of dough over the apples. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tbsp sugar over the top.
  5. Bake: Bake for 35–45 minutes until the topping is golden and the fruit juices are bubbling.

Notes

  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cardamom adds a unique, floral warmth that pairs perfectly with the tartness of the apples!
