1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold), cubed
1/3 cup milk
2 tbsp vanilla ice cream (per serving)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) with Dutch oven inside.

In pot, toss apples with 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon.
In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt.

Notes
Substitute coconut sugar for lower glycemic.

Gluten-free flour blend works for topping.
Dutch oven’s cast iron retains heat for optimal baking.
Serve warm, ideally at room temperature for ice cream contrast.
