* Preheat oven to 350 degrees * melt butter, set aside to cool.
* peel core & cut apples, like you would for an apple pie.
* Combine apples, 1 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, coat apples.
* arrange the apples in a greased, 8 or 9 inch baking dish, or a pie dish. I like to put in a pie dish & arrange the apples in circles so it looks fancy.
* In a new bowl, add remaining sugar, flour, and baking powder. mix to combine.
* add in slightly beaten egg and butter to flour mix.
* mix just until combined. Do Not overmix.
