Ingredients
  

  • 8-10 medium sized apples
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons apple pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Discard Crisp Topping
  • 1/2 cup sourdough starter discard
  • 8 Tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons apple pie spice

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 and butter a 9x13" pan or a 12" cast iron skillet.
  2. Wash, peel, core, and chop the apples into bite sized pieces about 1/2" thick each.
  3. Toss the apple chunks in lemon juice (this helps prevent browning).
  4. In a small bowl, toss together the brown sugar, cornstarch, apple pie spice, vanilla, and salt and then toss with the apples to coat.
  5. Place the apple pieces in the bottom of a buttered 9x13 pan or 12" cast iron pan.
  6. In a medium sized mixing bowl, mix the melted and slightly cooled butter with the discard and mix to help combine.
  7. Mix in the oats, brown sugar, flour, and apple pie spice until well mixed.
  8. Sprinkle on top of the prepared apples.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven until the top is golden and crisp, about 30 minutes.
  10. Allow to cool 10 minutes before enjoying. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired.
