Yield Makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tart cooking apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup)
1 cup pecan pieces
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

1 Preheat the oven to 325°F. Butter a 9-inch square baking dish.
2 Whisk together the flour and baking powder in a small bowl. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and salt until blended and frothy. While whisking vigorously, slowly add the sugar and whisk until thick. Stir in the apples, pecans, and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture, stirring well to incorporate the dry ingredients.
3 Scrape the batter into the prepared dish and smooth the top. Bake until the top crust is browned and the filling is bubbly around the edges, about 40 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes before serving hot or at room temperature with the whipped cream.
