Description
Warm apple slices simmer in butter and brown sugar until caramelized, then are topped with pillowy batter that bakes to a golden, bubbling finish—perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 6 cups apples peeled and sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
- Add apples peeled and sliced, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples soften and sugars caramelize, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in vanilla extract and lemon juice, then transfer the apple mixture to a greased 8-inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined to form a batter.
- Drop spoonfuls of batter over the caramelized apples, covering as much surface as possible.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow cobbler to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For deeper flavor, swap half the granulated sugar with maple syrup.
- Use a combination of tart Granny Smith and sweet Honeycrisp apples for balance.
