Apple Cobbler
Apple Cobbler is a warm and comforting dessert made with tender, cinnamon-spiced apples baked beneath a golden, buttery biscuit topping. It’s the perfect treat for fall gatherings, holidays, or anytime you’re craving a classic, old-fashioned dessert. Best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
For the apple filling:
- 6 cups apples peeled, cored, and sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
For the cobbler topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare apple filling: In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour until coated. Spread evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Make topping: In another bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk until smooth. Pour in melted butter and gently mix until combined.
- Assemble cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the apples (don’t stir—batter will bake up around the apples).
- Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Granny Smith apples add a tart flavor, while Honeycrisp or Fuji bring more sweetness—mixing varieties gives the best balance.
- Add a pinch of cloves or allspice for extra warmth.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in the oven at 325°F (165°C) before serving.
- For individual servings, bake in ramekins instead of a large dish.
