Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. In a large bowl, toss apples with brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Spread into the prepared dish.

3. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

4. Cut in cold cubed butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

5. Whisk buttermilk with vanilla; add to dry ingredients and stir just until combined (do not overmix).

6. Drop spoonfuls of topping evenly over the apples.

7. Bake 35–45 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.

8. Cool at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

For extra warmth, add 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves to the filling.

No buttermilk? Mix 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar with 1/2 cup milk; rest 5 minutes.

Topping can be made up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated until baking time.
