Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger (for topping)
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 0.33 cup Molasses
- 0.5 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch wedges. Place them in a large bowl.
Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, and lemon juice to the apples. Toss to combine, then transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In another large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground ginger for the topping.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the softened butter with the molasses until creamy and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Spoon dollops of the gingerbread batter over the apple mixture. Spread the batter gently to cover most of the apples, leaving a few gaps for bubbling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is set and a toothpick inserted into the gingerbread topping comes out clean.
Allow the cobbler to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
