Preheat oven to 350°F.

Peel, core, and slice 4 lbs of apples into thin pieces (less than 1/4 inch thick).

Transfer sliced apples to a large bowl.

Toss apples with 2 tbsp of lemon juice.

Add 1/3 cup of light brown sugar to the apples and crumble it to remove lumps.

Sprinkle in 1 tbsp of cornstarch, 1/2 tsp of cinnamon, 1/4 tsp of nutmeg, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract into the apple mixture and toss to combine.

Pour the apple mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish and flatten it out.

Dot the surface with 1/4 cup (56 g) of cold butter.

In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups (240 g) of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (100 g) of granulated sugar, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 tbsp of baking powder, and whisk together.

Add 3/4 cup (180 ml) of whole milk and 1/4 cup (56 g) of melted unsalted butter to the dry mixture and mix until combined.

Scatter the topping over the apples using two spoons, leaving some areas uncovered.

Optionally, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving, optionally with ice cream.
