- Add the vanilla to the butter.
- Pour the butter over the nut/flour mixture and mix until all the flour is moistened.
Put it together:
- Stir sugar mixture into the apples.
- Sprinkle with lemon
- Taste, the apple should be slightly sweeter than you’d like. Add more sugar if needed.
- Scrape the apple mixture into a 2-quart baking dish, it will be very full, mound slightly in the middle.
- Scatter the topping over the apples.
- Place baking dish on a baking sheet to catch any bubbling juices that may spill over.
