Apple Cobbler Recipe
Discover the best apple cobbler recipe! Perfect blend of sweet apples and spices, easy to make and utterly delicious.
Equipment
- Oven
- Large mixing bowl
- 9×13 inch baking dish
- Peeler and corer for apples
- Knife
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh apples peeled and sliced
- 1 cup White sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted butter chilled and diced
- 1/2 cup Boiling water
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Apples
- Peel and slice the apples.
- In a large bowl, mix the sliced apples with white sugar, half of the cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Transfer the apple mixture to the baking dish.
- Note: Choosing the right type of apple is key. I recommend a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for that perfect balance of tartness and sweetness.
Step 2 – Make the Topping
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, remaining cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the chilled butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in boiling water just until the mixture is evenly moist.

Step 3 – Assemble and Bake
- Spoon the topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
- Warning: Be careful not to overmix the topping; it can become tough rather than crumbly and light.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the apple mixture.
- If the cobbler starts to brown too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time.
