Easy Apple Cobbler Recipe
Description
This Easy Apple Cobbler Recipe uses a combination of honeycrisp and gala apples sliced thin and tossed with brown and granulated sugars, flour, lemon juice, vanilla, and a blend of aromatic spices including cinnamon, ginger, ground cardamom, and cloves. The mixture is spread in a greased baking dish and covered with a batter topping made from flour, baking powder, kosher salt, sugar, milk, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla paste or extract.
The cobbler bakes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until the filling bubbles gently and the topping turns golden brown, about 40 to 45 minutes. The resulting cobbler has a tender, cakey top with edges that may reveal some of the sweet-spiced apple filling underneath. The warm, fragrant combination of tender fruit and lightly spiced batter makes for a homestyle dessert best accompanied by vanilla ice cream.
This recipe can be adapted into individual servings by dividing the filling into ramekins and topping with batter; in that case, dicing the apples smaller ensures a better fit and quicker baking time of 15 to 20 minutes. Common baking apples suited for this dish include Gala, Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, Northern Spy, Braeburn, and Fuji, each contributing different sweetness and tartness levels.
The recipe benefits from quality equipment like stainless steel bowls, silicone spatulas, and a citrus squeezer for ease in preparation, but improvisation with available items works well.
Ingredients
Filling:
- 2 apple peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices, honey crisp
- 2 Gala apples peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- lemon about 1 tablespoon juice, juice from 1 small
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- ground cardamom teeny pinch
- ground cloves teeny pinch
Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup milk whole
- 6 tablespoons butter melted, unsalted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste or 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Prep:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or butter a baking casserole dish that’s 9x6 or something comparable. Use what you have! And then set it aside.
To Make the Filling:
- In a large bowl, add the sliced honey crisp apples, gala apples, brown sugar, sugar, flour, juice from 1 lemon, vanilla and spices (cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and cloves). Toss it all together until combined. Add the filling to your prepared baking dish.
To Make the Topping:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add the milk, butter and vanilla; mix until combined. Pour the topping on top of the filling. It’s ok if some of the filling is peaking through or it’s not a totally perfect on top. I like it when some of the filling shows through. And then transfer to the oven to bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm with cold vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Use baking apples such as Gala, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith to balance sweetness and texture.
- Individual servings can be made in ramekins by dicing apples and reducing baking time to 15-20 minutes.
- Vanilla ice cream pairs well when serving this warm cobbler.
