Ingredients

¼ tsp pure ground allspice
1000 g firm baking apples
118 g unsalted butter
240 ml plain liquid buttermilk
2 tsp ground cinnamon
10 ml liquid vanilla extract
227 g plain wheat flour
15 ml strained lemon juice
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp fine salt
200 g white sugar
37 g fine moist brown sugar

Preparation

Step completed · 1
Heat the conventional oven to 180 °C. Grease a 33 × 23 cm dish with 5 g butter. Melt the 85 g reserved for the batter for about 5 minutes and cool for 10 minutes. Peel and core the apples. Slice it 6 mm thick. Melt the remaining 28 g butter in a saucepan. Add apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, 8 g flour and spices. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until starting to soften. Transfer to the dish.
Step completed · 2
Whisk cooled melted butter with white sugar. Add buttermilk and vanilla, then the remaining 219 g flour, baking powder and salt. Mix only until combined. Small lumps are fine. Spread over the apples without mixing the layers. Bake immediately.
Step completed · 3
Bake for about 55 minutes at 180 °C in the middle of the oven: the top should be golden, the batter cooked and fruit bubbling at the edges. Loosely cover with foil if browning too soon. Place on a rack and wait at least 5 minutes before spooning out warm servings.
