Method
Dough Preparation
Mix the dough
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Combine dry ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Chill the dough
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Filling Preparation
Prepare the filling
In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
Assembly and Baking
Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the dough
Once the dough is chilled, divide it into two portions. Roll out one portion on a floured surface to fit your baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches).
Add the filling
Place the rolled-out dough into the baking dish, then spread the apple filling evenly over the dough.
Top with dough
Roll out the second portion of dough and place it over the apple filling. Seal the edges by pressing them together.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
