Homemade Apple Cobbler Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by peeling and slicing Granny Smith apples, which cook with sugar over medium-low heat until soft. A cornstarch and apple juice mixture is added to thicken the filling, followed by butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg for flavor. This spiced apple mixture is spread into a greased baking dish. The topping is prepared by combining dry ingredients, then cutting in cold butter and adding milk to form a batter. This batter spooned over the apple filling creates a biscuit-like crust once baked at 350°F.
The finished cobbler balances tender, cinnamon-spiced apples with a soft, slightly sweet crust. A sugar and hot water mixture can be brushed on before baking to produce a crisp sugar glaze. The dessert is served warm, making it comforting and hearty.
Leftovers should be refrigerated in an airtight container to maintain freshness. Calorie estimates are based on nine servings, but may vary with ingredient brands.

Instructions
Make the apple filling:
- Prepare the apples by peeling, slicing and coring them. Granny Smith apples work great in this recipe. 8 cups freshly peeled & sliced apples
- Place the apples in a medium saucepan and turn the heat to medium low. Add the sugar. Cook and stir until the apples start to soften. This will take about 8-10 minutes. 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and apple juice (or water). Drizzle this into the apples and mix. Stir until thickened. 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/2 cup apple juice
- Add the butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix well, then remove the apples from the heat. 2 tablespoons salted butter, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, pinch ground nutmeg
- Spray an 8x8 baking pan with cooking spray and then add the apple filling, spreading it evenly over the bottom of the pan.
Make the cobbler:
- Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. 1 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender. It's ok if there are small chunks of butter. They'll melt in while baking and make the cobbler light and tender. 5 tablespoons salted butter
- Add in the milk and mix just until combined. Do not overmix. 1/2 cup 2% milk
- Pour the batter over the top of the apples and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle the top of the batter with sugar, then drizzle the hot water overtop. If you have a spray bottle for the kitchen you can also spritz the hot water on top for more even coverage. 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons hot water
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and cooked through. Check the cobbler at 20 or 25 minutes. If it looks like it is getting too brown on top before it's baked through, lightly place a piece of foil over the top and finish baking.
- Serve warm with ice cream and caramel syrup if desired.
Notes
- Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
- The sugar topping creates a pleasant glaze and adds slight crunch; prepare it with hot water for best results.
