Ingredients to Make the Cobbler
The cobbler has two parts, an apple filling and a simple cake topping. For the apple filling, you will need:
Apples– I use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples. Peel, slice, and core the apples. If you want to speed up the process, you can use this gadget. Brown sugar– to sweeten up those tart apples! Lemon juice– a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to prevent the apples from browning. Cornstarch– to thicken up the cobbler filling. Vanilla extract– a must in baking! Spices– cinnamon and a pinch of cloves and nutmeg!
For the cobbler topping, you will need:
Butter– I use unsalted butter, cut it into tablespoon pieces so it’s easier to brown! Flour– regular, all-purpose flour! Sugar– granulated sugar for the topping! Baking powder– to help our cobbler topping rise! Salt– to balance out the sweet! Milk– I recommend whole milk for a richer cake. Vanilla extract– yes, more vanilla! I love it! Turbinadao sugar & cinnamon– I sprinkle course sugar and cinnamon on top of the cobbler before it goes in the oven. It adds the perfect sweet crunch!
How to Make Apple Cobbler
Make the apple filling. In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla, and spices. Stir until the apples are well coated and pour into a greased baking pan.
Brown the butter. Place the butter in a small skillet and melt over medium heat, stirring often, until it foams, smells nutty, and browns. This will take about 5 minutes. Scrape the browned butter into a small bowl and let cool to room temperature. You can put it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes while you prepare the topping.
Make the cobbler topping. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk, vanilla, and browned butter. Mix until combined.Assemble the cobbler. Pour the topping over the apples in the pan. Spread with a spatula until apples are mostly covered, it is ok if some are peaking out. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
Bake until bubbly. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or the filling is bubbling, and the top is golden brown and set.Enjoy! The cobbler is good on it’s own, but I highly recommend serving it warm with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of salted caramel sauce. YUM!
How to Store
Let the apple cobbler cool completely and then you can cover the pan with a lid, plastic wrap, or aluminum foil and place it in the fridge. You can also transfer the cobbler to an airtight container. Store the cobbler in the refrigerator for up to four days. You can eat the cobbler cold or reheat it in the microwave or oven. I think the leftovers make a great breakfast:)
