Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and sliced thinly)
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for apples)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for apples)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar (for batter)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for batter and topping)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly butter a 9-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add the sliced apples, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon.
Cook the apples, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes until they soften slightly and begin to caramelize. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of melted butter into the batter and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Arrange the cooked apples on top of the batter, spreading them evenly.
Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter over the apples.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over the top for an extra caramelized finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Allow the cobbler to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
