1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup flour
1/4 cup butter (cut into pieces)

Add in flour and whisk until the batter is very smooth.

Place the butter pieces in a 13 x 9-inch glass baking dish and place the dish in the oven for 5 minutes.

Remove the hot dish from oven and place the apple slices in rows overlapping on top of the melted butter.
