Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Place apples in large bowl. Add 1 cup sugar, cinnamon, 2 tablespoons flour and lemon juice and toss to blend well.

Stir in 1 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, baking powder and salt in medium bowl to blend. Whisk eggs, melted butter, 1/2 cup water and vanilla extract in small bowl to blend. Add egg mixture to dry ingredients and stir until thick dough forms. Spread 1 3/4 cups dough over bottom of prepared pan. Top with apple mixture. Drop remaining dough by tablespoonfuls evenly over apple mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Cover pan tightly with foil.
