Ingredients

3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
2 cups fresh blueberries
2/3 cup white sugar

Directions

1 Prepare fruit filling: Place apples in a large bowl and toss with 3/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and nutmeg. Cover and place in refrigerator.
2 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

4 Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture, alternating with milk, until fully incorporated. Fold in blueberries.
5 Arrange apples in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour blueberry batter over top.
6 Prepare topping: Mix sugar, flour, and cinnamon together in a bowl; cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over batter.
7 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of buckle comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
