Apple Cobbler 🍎🥧🍂 Warm, Spiced Apples Tucked Beneath a Golden, Buttery Crust

This apple cobbler is cozy, rustic, and full of cinnamon-spiced apples topped with a buttery, golden batter.

It’s the perfect dessert for crisp fall evenings and pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Ingredients (Serves 8)

For the apple filling

• 6 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix), peeled, cored, and sliced
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp nutmeg
• 2 tsp cornstarch (for thickening)

For the batter

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Optional topping

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

Step 1: Preheat oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Prepare the apples

In a large bowl, toss apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.

Step 3: Make the batter

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined. Batter will be thin.

Step 4: Assemble the cobbler

Pour the batter evenly over the apples (do not stir). The batter will bake up around the fruit.

Step 5: Bake

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.

Step 6: Serve

Let cool slightly before serving warm with ice cream or whipped cream.

Flavor Variations

• Add a handful of cranberries to the apple filling for a tart twist
• Use apple pie spice instead of just cinnamon and nutmeg
• Add a splash of bourbon or rum to the filling for depth
• Sprinkle coarse sugar on top of the batter before baking for extra crunch

Pro Tips

• Choose firm apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) for the best texture
• Let cobbler rest 10–15 minutes after baking so the filling thickens
• If using very sweet apples, reduce the sugar slightly
• Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days — reheat gently before serving

Final Thoughts

Apple Cobbler is the ultimate comfort dessert — tender, spiced apples under a golden, buttery crust. It’s rustic, warm, and perfect for serving at family dinners or holiday gatherings.

Bake it. Scoop it. Taste autumn comfort. 🍎🥧🍂
