  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla. Add the butter mixture and combine well. Slowly add the flour and mix until well combined.
  • Spread the batter evenly on the baking sheet.
  • In a bowl, toss the apples with 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1 tsp of cinnamon. Evenly spread the apples over the dough and pat them gently into it. 
  • Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes until the center is set. Let cool.
