Servings: 8 servings, 2 cups whipped cream
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 1 hr
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup confectioners’ sugar, plus more for dusting
Pinch salt
3 sticks butter, at room temperature, plus more for pan
8 cups cored, peeled and chopped Granny Smith apples (about 5 large)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 package unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons cold apple juice
Vanilla ice cream
Cinnamon Whipped Cream, recipe follows

Cinnamon Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 9 by 13 by 2-inch pan.

Make the crust by combining flour, confectioners’ sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Cut in 2 sticks of butter to make a crumbly mixture. *Cook’s Note: Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if the dough is too dry.

Press the mixture into the prepared pan. You may need to dip your fingers into a little flour or confectioners’ sugar to keep the dough from sticking to your fingers. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

In a large skillet, melt the remaining stick of butter over medium heat. Add the apples, and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in 1 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and lemon juice; cook for 3 minutes. In a small bowl, soften the gelatin in cold apple juice, then add it to apples, and cook for 15 minutes. Spoon the mixture evenly over the prepared crust and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool, then cut into squares. Serve with vanilla ice cream and Cinnamon Whipped Cream.

Cinnamon Whipped Cream:

In a medium bowl, beat the heavy cream at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until thickened. Gradually beat in the confectioners’ sugar and cinnamon, beating until stiff peaks form. Cover, and chill until ready to use.

I don't know if I did something wrong, but it came out gooey. I baked it for fifteen minutes it was too gooey so I baked it another fifteen minutes and it is still too gooey. Not only that but it is way too sweet for me even with whip cream. I really don't like it all that much.
