  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

  4. Gradually add 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Spread the apple filling evenly over the batter.
  7. Crumble the remaining batter over the apple filling.
  8. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
