Apple Cobbler Recipe
How to Make Apple Cobbler
First, combine the apple slices, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Toss to coat and set aside. Melt the butter in the baking dish in the oven. Grab a medium bowl and whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together. Stir the milk and vanilla into the flour mixture. Pour the batter over the melted butter and top with the apple mixture.
Bake in a preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or cold with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. It is just that simple to make this fantastic dessert treat!
Preparation Tips
- The best apples for this recipe are Honeycrisp, Braeburn, Pink Lady, Gala, and Granny Smith.
- It is best to peel the apples for this dessert. Some apple skins can be thick and tough. I don’t want that in my dessert.
- Top the cobbler with fresh whipped cream, a vanilla ice cream scoop, or a caramel sauce drizzle.
