Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish. Arrange apple slices evenly in the prepared dish.
In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup flour and sugar. Gradually add water and vinegar, stirring continuously until well blended and sugar is dissolved. Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and cool for approximately 10 minutes. Stir in butter and vanilla extract. Pour the syrup mixture evenly over the apples in the baking pan.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 cup flour and baking powder until smooth. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles pea-sized crumbs. Stir in milk until just combined. Spread the batter evenly over the apple filling.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
