- 1/3 cup Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour*

*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.

- Place apples in prepared pan.
- Reserve 1/2 cup of caramel sauce for serving and pour remaining caramel sauce over apples.
- To make topping, whisk flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Use a pastry blender to cut butter into flour until mixture resembles small peas.
- Add egg and vanilla and stir until moistened and dough begins to form. Work dough until well combined.
