Apple Cobbler
Description
This Apple Cobbler starts with peeled, cored, and sliced tart apples mixed with brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, flour, and salt for a balanced sweet and tangy filling. The topping combines flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt with cold butter pulsed to coarse crumbs before folding in heavy cream, forming a soft dough. Spreading this over the apple mixture and baking at 350°F until golden delivers a tender, biscuit-like crust with a buttery flavor and slight crumbly texture.
The baked cobbler offers a warm, juicy interior with spiced apple slices and a lightly sweetened moist topping. The texture contrast between the soft fruit and the slightly crisped golden crust adds enjoyment. Serving it with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream enhances the dessert's creaminess and temperature contrast.
Useful tips include choosing suitable apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala for a balance of tartness and sweetness. If a food processor is unavailable for the topping, dry ingredients can be whisked then butter cut in by hand before mixing cream. Leftover cobbler can be refrigerated for up to three days and reheated in the oven to maintain topping crispness.
Ingredients
Filling
- 2 pounds apple cored, peeled, and sliced no larger than ¼" thick, tart
- ¼ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
Topping
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons butter cold and cut into 6 pieces, unsalted
- ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease an 11x7-inch pan.
Filling
- In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Toss well to mix and transfer the apple mixture to the prepared pan.
Topping
- In a food processor*, combine the remaining flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pulse until combined.
- Scatter the butter over the top of the flour mixture and pulse again until coarse crumbs form. Add cream and pulse briefly until the mixture clumps together to form a soft dough.
- Use your hands to place the cobbler batter over the apples to cover them.
- Bake the cobbler for 45 to 55 minutes or until the topping is a light golden brown and cooked through.
- Allow to cool for several minutes. Top with vanilla ice cream or whipping cream, if desired.
Notes
- Use tart apple varieties like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala for best flavor.
- If no food processor is available, cut cold butter into dry ingredients by hand before adding cream.
- Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftovers in the oven to help keep the topping crisp.
