Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for apples)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for topping)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Spread the spiced apples evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt for the topping.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the apple mixture, leaving small gaps between the mounds.
- Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.
- Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving warm, perhaps with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Use a mix of apple varieties for deeper flavor.
- For a richer topping flavor, use buttermilk instead of regular milk.
- You can add a small amount of nutmeg to the apple mixture for extra warmth.
