Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups apples (peeled, cored, and sliced thin)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour (for the topping)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for the topping)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a 10- to 12-inch oven-safe skillet, melt the unsalted butter (4 tablespoons) over medium heat.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar (0.5 cups), brown sugar (0.25 cups), ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, all-purpose flour (2 tablespoons), and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Add the apple mixture to the skillet and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
To make the biscuit topping, whisk together the all-purpose flour (1.5 cups), granulated sugar (2 tablespoons), baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter (6 tablespoons) using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the heavy cream (0.5 cups) and vanilla extract until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop the biscuit dough in small mounds and drop it evenly over the apple mixture in the skillet, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving. Optional: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
