🍯Ingredients
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 scant cup sugar
½ cup shortening
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ – 1 cup milk
½ tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
6 eggs, separated
7 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
2–3 tsp cinnamon
2–3 tsp sugar (for topping)
2–4 tbsp Fingerlakes Honey Company honey (optional, drizzled on top)
🥣Directions
Preheat oven to 350–375°F (175–190°C). Grease a ½–1 inch deep baking pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Cut in shortening and butter, working until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, like pie dough.
Make a well in the center, add 2 egg yolks and ¾–1 cup milk, and mix with a fork until a batter forms.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth it evenly.
Arrange the apple slices on top in a single layer. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
Bake for 35 minutes, until apples are tender and the batter is set.
Meanwhile, beat the remaining 4 egg whites (or whole eggs if you like) with a little sugar to form a light custard.
Pour this egg mixture over the baked apples and return to oven for 5 more minutes, until set.
Optional: Drizzle Fingerlakes Honey over the top before serving for extra sweetness and warmth.
