The ingredients in this recipe play a crucial role in creating its unique flavor profile. We start with six medium apples, peeled and sliced, which provide a tart contrast to the sweetness of one cup of pure maple syrup and granulated sugar each. A splash of lemon juice adds a hint of freshness while enhancing the apple’s flavor. The batter is made from all-purpose flour, packed brown sugar, baking powder, salt, beaten eggs, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon – all staples in any baking endeavor.

To make this autumn dessert masterpiece, start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease your baking dish with some unsalted butter before peeling and slicing your apples into thin slices. Toss them in lemon juice to prevent browning before coating them in a homemade maple syrup mixture made from pure maple syrup and granulated sugar heated over medium heat until dissolved completely. In another bowl mix together your dry ingredients – flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt before adding in your wet ingredients – eggs, butter and vanilla extract to form a batter. Layer half of this batter into your greased dish followed by the syrup-coated apple slices and then the remaining batter. Sprinkle some ground cinnamon on top before baking for about 45-50 minutes. Let it cool for at least an hour before serving this apple maple syrup dessert.
