Ingredients

  • Apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), about 6 cups, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • Granulated Sugar, 3/4 cup
  • All-purpose Flour, 2 tablespoons
  • Cinnamon, 1 teaspoon
  • Nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon
  • Lemon Juice, 1 tablespoon
  • Butter, 2 tablespoons, melted (for the filling)
  • All-purpose Flour, 1 1/2 cups (for the topping)
  • Granulated Sugar, 1/2 cup (for the topping)
  • Baking Powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons
  • Salt, 1/2 teaspoon
  • Cold Unsalted Butter, 1/2 cup (6 tablespoons), cut into small pieces
  • Milk or Buttermilk, 1/2 cup
  • Egg, 1 (for egg wash, optional)
  • Coarse Sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  4. Prepare the topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter pieces using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in the milk or buttermilk until just combined to form a soft dough. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the topping evenly over the apple mixture. You can gently press them together slightly or leave them as rustic mounds.
  8. If desired, brush the topping lightly with an egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  9. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling thickly.
  10. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm, perhaps with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Jacob suggests using a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor balance.
  • For a snickerdoodle-style topping, mix 1 tablespoon of the topping sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon before sprinkling it on top.
  • This recipe scales well if you need to make it for a larger crowd.
  • Serve immediately while warm for the best texture contrast between the topping and the soft apples.
