Classic Apple Cobbler

A warm, comforting, and easy-to-make apple cobbler with a tender biscuit-like topping.
Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

For the Filling

  • 6 pounds apples peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Topping

  • 1.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into cubes
  • 0.5 cup milk

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, 0.75 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples evenly. Pour the apple mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups flour, 0.75 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Pour in the milk and stir until just combined. The dough will be thick and shaggy.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the topping mixture over the apple filling, covering as much of the surface as possible.
  • Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.
  • Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

For best results, use a mix of apple varieties for a complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji are excellent choices.
