- 3 large, sweet apples, peeled, cored and chopped (2 1/2-3 cups)
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 12 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature

Preparation
Step 1
Place chopped apples in a large bowl and pour lemon juice over the top. Toss until all are coated.
Preheat oven to 350º F and lightly grease an 8×11-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and nutmeg and set aside.
In a large bowl or mixer, cream together butter and sugar until fluffy and lightened in color.
Mix in egg and vanilla extract until incorporated, then mix in orange juice and (gradually) add dry ingredients.
Stir until just combined, then fold in chopped apples.
Pour mixture into greased baking dish and place in oven.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool, then slice into squares and enjoy!
