Apple Spice Oven-Baked Delight

Ingredients

- 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's at the right temperature when you're ready to bake.

2. Prepare the Apples
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, 1/4 cup of the brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are evenly coated with the spices. Set aside.

3. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

4. Combine Wet Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the evaporated milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined. Gradually stir in the white granulated sugar until dissolved.

5. Create the Batter
Slowly combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps.

6. Assemble the Dessert
Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish. Spread the spiced apple mixture evenly on the bottom of the dish. Pour the batter over the apples, ensuring full coverage.

7. Finish with a Sweet Topping
Sprinkle the remaining 3/4 cup brown sugar evenly over the batter. This will create a caramelized topping during baking.

8. Bake
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

9. Cool and Serve
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This dessert can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
