Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 1/4 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the apple filling: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cornstarch. Toss well to evenly coat the apples. Transfer this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the topping dough: In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the cold, cubed unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then, carefully stir in the boiling water until a thick dough forms.
- Assemble the cobbler: Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the apple filling. The dough won’t cover all the apples completely but will spread out during baking.
- Bake the cobbler: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40–45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apple mixture is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cobbler to cool for 10 minutes before serving. For best results, serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Optionally, sprinkle raw sugar or chopped pecans on the topping before baking for extra crunch.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic pairing.
- For added texture, sprinkle a little raw sugar or chopped pecans over the topping before baking.
- This cobbler can be made with a variety of apple types depending on your desired sweetness and tartness.
- To store leftovers, cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days; reheat gently before serving.
