Description
A warm, simple apple cobbler with a soft, cake-like topping, flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter
- 8 cups (about 1kg) peeled and sliced apples (1/4-inch slices; about 7 apples)
- 3 Tablespoons (37g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 6 Tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 and 3/4 cups (219g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- optional: 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar + 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the apple slices, brown sugar, lemon juice, flour, and spices. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until the apples are coated and begin to soften. Transfer apple filling to the prepared baking pan.
- Whisk the melted butter and sugar together in a medium bowl. Add buttermilk, vanilla, flour, baking powder, and salt; whisk until combined and mostly smooth.
- Pour and spread the batter over the apples. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar evenly over the top and swirl gently.
- Bake for 48-55 minutes until topping is golden and apple filling is bubbling. If browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through.
- Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or cold, with or without toppings.
Notes
For added texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts or dried fruits to the apple filling or topping. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
