Enjoy a warm and comforting dessert with this apple slump recipe. Made with juicy apples, warm spices, and a delicious biscuit-like topping, this classic American dessert is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. The apples are simmered in a spiced sugar syrup until tender and then topped with a buttery and crispy topping. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate indulgence.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Stir in the milk until just combined. The mixture should be sticky and have a thick consistency.
  4. 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.
  5. Serve the apple slump warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Enjoy!
