Apple Cobbler
Description
This Apple Cobbler begins with a filling of sliced, peeled apples tossed in fresh lemon juice to preserve brightness. Brown sugar sweetens the fruit along with warm spices cinnamon and nutmeg plus vanilla extract. Cornstarch thickens the juices during baking. Small cubes of butter dot the filling, adding richness.
The topping consists of a batter-like mixture of all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, and cold unsalted butter, resulting in a soft, slightly cakey crust with a tender texture once baked. This topping scatters unevenly over the filling, allowing some fruit to peek through and bubble at the edges.
The dish bakes until the topping turns golden and the filling bubbles hot around the edges, typically about 45 minutes at 350°F. Serving the cobbler warm highlights the contrast between the spiced fruit and the soft crust, with vanilla ice cream adding creamy coolness if desired.
Tips include measuring flour carefully to avoid a dry crust, peeling apples to avoid chewy skin, and allowing the cobbler to cool for 10 minutes to let the filling thicken. Adding a cinnamon sugar sprinkle to the topping before baking enhances sweetness and texture.
Ingredients
For the Apple Filling:
- 4 pounds apple peeled, cored, and sliced (1.8kg
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar 73g, packed
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup butter cut into small cubes (57g, unsalted
For the Topping:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk 180ml, whole
- ¼ cup butter melted (170g, cold unsalted
Instructions
For the Apple Filling:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice until well coated. Add the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract. Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Dot the top with the cubed butter.
For the Topping:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and butter and stir together with a spatula until all of the flour is moistened. Scatter the topping over the filling. (It doesn’t need to completely cover the apples.)
- Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. Let cool for 10 minutes. Serve topped with vanilla ice cream. Cover any leftovers and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Notes
- For a crunchy topping, sprinkle cinnamon sugar (1 tbsp sugar with ¼ tsp cinnamon) over dough before baking.
- Measure flour by weighing or fluffing and leveling to avoid a dry topping.
- Peel apples before use to prevent chewy texture from skins when baked.
- Keep butter cold until mixing to create a tender topping as it melts during baking.
- Allow cobbler to cool 10 minutes so filling thickens before serving.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture; refrigerate leftovers up to 5 days.
