Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Salted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour (for cobbler topping)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 tablespoons Salted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Turbinado sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle lime juice over the apple slices to prevent browning and to add a zesty kick.
In the same bowl, add brown sugar, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and all-purpose flour. Toss the apple slices until they are evenly coated.
Melt 4 tablespoons of salted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spiced apple mixture and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples start to soften.
Stir in the vanilla extract, then transfer the cooked apple mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt for the cobbler topping.
Cut the cubed, cold salted butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in the buttermilk until the mixture comes together into a soft dough.
Spoon dollops of the dough evenly over the apple filling to create a cobbled effect. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the dough for added crunch and sweetness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and cooked through, and the apple filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the dessert cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
