Apple Sour Cream Slice

Apple Sour Cream Slice

Base:
1-1/2 cups gluten free flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg beaten
1 cup unsalted butter melted

Apple Filling

5-6 tart apples, peeled and sliced in very thin pieces
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Topping:
1 egg beaten

1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanila extract

Why they call this recipe a slice is a mystery to me, but it's definitely worth making. Whisk dry ingredients for the base. Add melted butter and beaten egg. Mix base to form a dough. Place dough in bottom of  8x8 glass baking dish, pressing it down evenly to coat the bottom. Bake for 12 minutes in 360 F preheated oven. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly.

For apple filling peel apples and slice very thin. Soak apple slices in lemon water to prevent browning. Drain apples and add cinnamon and nutmeg and toss well. Microwave apple mixture on medium for 10 minutes to soften. Place apples over the base, distributing evenly.

For topping mix all ingredients and pour over apples. Bake at 360 F for 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely in bakiing dish and refrigerate for one hour before slicing to serve. I think I might double the topping ingredients next time. Sprinkle top with a mixture of confectioners sugar and cinnamon. So delicious.
