How to Make Apple Puff Bake
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until sugar dissolves completely.
- Peel, core, and cut 4-6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) in half.
- Place apple halves in a lightly greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Pour the sugar syrup evenly over the apples.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Cut in 1/2 cup cold shortening (or butter) using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually stir in 1/4 cup milk until a soft dough forms.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough over each apple half.
- Make a small indentation in the center of each mound of dough.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons melted butter, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Spoon the butter mixture into the indentations in the dough.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
