Ingredients
- 6 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3/4 cup milk
Directions
- In a large pot, combine apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the apples are tender.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk until just combined. The mixture should be sticky and have a thick consistency.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the simmering apples. Cover the pot with a lid and cook for about 20 minutes or until the topping is cooked through.
- Serve the apple slump warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
