Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temp
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted or softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract and salt.
  3. Gradually add all-purpose flour until combined; the dough should be crumbly yet hold together when pressed.
  4. Press two-thirds of the shortbread mixture into the bottom of the baking dish.
  5. For the apple filling, toss sliced apples with flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; layer over the crust.
  6. Combine remaining flour with brown sugar; stir in melted butter until crumbly and sprinkle over apples.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown; let cool before slicing.
