# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch baking pan.

# Notes:

01 - Adding a splash of lemon juice to the apples prevents browning. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. You can substitute whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
