How to Make Apple Cobbler
Ingredients:
- 6-8 large apples (peeled, cored, and sliced, approximately 1/4″, approximately 9 cups of apples)
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup butter (melted)
- Ice cream & caramel sauce if desired for topping
Directions:
- Start by peeling, coring, and slicing 6 to 8 apples into 1/4-inch wedges, which should amount to 9 cups.
- In a bowl, combine the apple slices with 2/3 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix well and spread this mixture evenly in a 13×9 inch baking dish.
- In another bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups of sugar, the 2 beaten eggs, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. This will create a crumbly topping.
- Sprinkle the flour mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter (2/3 cup) on top.
- Bake the dish in the oven at 350°F for 45 to 55 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.
- Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It is best enjoyed warm, either plain or with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of caramel.
How to Serve Apple Cobbler
Apple Cobbler is best served warm straight from the oven. You can enjoy it by itself or dress it up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Drizzling some caramel sauce adds an extra touch of sweetness that many people love. It’s a wonderful dessert for gatherings, family dinners, or even a cozy night in.
How to Store Apple Cobbler
To store any leftover Apple Cobbler, allow it to cool completely. Then, cover it with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat the cobbler in the oven at a low temperature until warmed through.
Tips to Make Apple Cobbler
- Feel free to mix different types of apples for a more complex flavor, such as Granny Smith for tartness and Honeycrisp for sweetness.
- Make sure not to overmix the flour topping; a little lumpiness will add to the texture!
- Keep an eye on the cobbler as it bakes; your oven may cook a bit differently, so adjust baking time as needed.
Variation
For a twist on the classic recipe, consider adding nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping for added crunch. You could also mix in some dried cranberries or raisins with the apples for a burst of flavor.
FAQs
1. Can I use frozen apples for this recipe?
While fresh apples provide the best flavor, you can use frozen apples if you thaw and drain them first to avoid excess moisture.
2. What can I substitute for butter?
You can use margarine or a dairy-free butter alternative if you are looking for a non-dairy option.
3. Is it necessary to peel the apples?
Peeling the apples is recommended for a smoother texture in the cobbler. However, if you prefer a bit more texture, feel free to leave the skins on.
