Swedish Apple Pie

Recipe adapted from Allrecipes

4 cups chopped apple, any type
1 cup sugar + 1 Tbsp. sugar
1 cup flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 cup melted salted butter
1 egg

Chop up a bunch of apples, toss with tablespoon of sugar, and pour into a buttered pie plate. In a separate bowl, mix the cup of sugar, flour, egg, cinnamon, and melted butter until it unifies as a batter. Pour the mixture over the apples and spread to cover completely. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 to 45 minutes, until done (keep an eye out so that the sugary fruit doesn’t get singed at the edges). Ice cream or whipped cream optional, but always welcome.
