A warm, rustic dessert made with spiced apples and a golden, biscuit-style topping. This easy apple cobbler is the perfect comfort food for fall and beyond.
For the filling:
6 cups peeled, sliced apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or mix)
½ cup brown sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cornstarch (or 2 tbsp flour)
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
Pinch of salt
Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup granulated sugar
6 tbsp cold butter, cubed
½ cup milk
Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch dish.
Toss apples with sugar, lemon juice, spices, and cornstarch. Spread in dish.
In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk to form dough.
Drop spoonfuls over apples. Sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar on top if desired.
Bake 40–45 minutes, until topping is golden and filling is bubbling.
Cool 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Use oat flour for a heartier topping.
