Ingredients

Apple Pie Filling

7-10 medium apples
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons all purpose flour

Sourdough Topping

1.5 cups sourdough starter
3 eggs
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons butter or a neutral oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Peel and dice 7-10 medium apples.
Add the apples and butter to a cast iron skillet. Cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile mix up the sourdough topping by combining all of the ingredients in a separate bowl.
When the apples in the cast iron skillet are cooked, but not yet soft, add the maple syrup, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Cook an additional two minutes, until the apple juices and syrup have thickened.
Pour the sourdough topping over the apples.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees.
It tastes best warm, so serve immediately.

Notes

Opt for crisp apples like honey crisp or granny smith. These hold up better when baking.
If you are peeling and cutting the apples ahead of time, soak the slices in one cup of water mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice to keep them from browning.
If you don't have a cast iron pan, cook the apples in a separate pan and add to a baking dish once they are done cooking. Proceed to top with the sourdough topping and bake.
