Peel, core, and slice 5 or 6 Granny Smith apples.

Pour on 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and toss the apples.

Add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 3/4 cup of brown sugar to the apples and toss to combine.

Pour the apple mixture into a 12-inch cast iron skillet and spread it out evenly.

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup of powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt, and stir to combine.

Cut 1/2 cup of salted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture.

Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles sand. Alternatively, use two knives to achieve the same result.

Pour in 1 cup of half-and-half and stir until you have a wet, sticky dough.

Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the apples in the skillet, varying the sizes for a rustic look.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 1 hour until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.

Serve warm with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
