ice cream or softly whipped cream.
Preparation: 15 minutes, plus baking time
Makes 18 – 24 servings
3 cups sliced apples *
(peel, core, quarter apples, cut into
1/8-inch slices)
Juice of 1 lemon
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into
1/2-inch pieces
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup dried cranberries
(may substitute dried cherries,
blueberries or raisins)
Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly coat a
13 x 9 x 2-inch rectangular baking pan
(15 cup) with cooking spray.
Place the apples, lemon juice, brown
sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and dried
cranberries in a medium bowl. Toss
gently to combine; reserve.
Place the flour, baking powder, and salt
in a medium bowl. Mix on speed 1 to
blend and aerate, 15 seconds; reserve.
Place the sugar and butter in a large
bowl. Mix on speed 3 to cream until
well blended, 1 minute. Add eggs and
vanilla; mix on speed 3 until smooth

in the prepared pan. Top evenly with
the apple and cranberry mixture. Spoon
the remaining batter randomly over the
top of the apples. Bake in the preheated
oven for 55 to 60 minutes, until a tester
inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in pan on a wire rack for at least
30 minutes before cutting.
* About 1-1/2 pounds apples before trimming.
