Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large tart apples (Granny Smith or Fuji)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- Peel, core, and slice the apples. Toss them with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.

- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce for an extra magical touch.
