  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour*
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

    Crystal Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar

    Crystal Sugar Light Brown Sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored and diced
