Ingredients
For the Apple Filling
- 5 cups (595g) thinly sliced granny smith apples (about 4 large apples) – I used granny smith and honeycrisp
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp (140g) packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons (16g) all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Batter
- 1 cup (130g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (207g) sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup (180ml) milk
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (112g) unsalted butter, melted
For the Topping (Optional)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Add all the ingredients for the apples to a saucepan and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes to melt the sugar and release some apple juices.
- Remove apples from heat and pour everything into a 9×13 pan. Spread evenly, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add the milk, egg yolk, vanilla extract and butter and mix until well combined.
- Pour the batter evenly over the apples.
- Combine the cinnamon and sugar for the topping and sprinkle over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until lightly golden on top.
- Remove from the oven to cool for 5-10 minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
- Nutrition facts include the optional topping.
- To Store & Reheat: Tightly cover the cooled cobbler with plastic wrap and keep it at room temperature for up to 24 hours – or in the fridge for 4-5 days. Microwave individual servings in a heat-proof dish for 20-30 seconds before enjoying.
- To Freeze: Apple cobbler is best fresh, but it still tastes amazing when frozen and reheated. Transfer the cooled cobbler to a freezer-safe container and freeze it for 2-3 months. Thaw it out in the fridge before reheating.
