  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Filling

  • 6 apples (Honey Crisp, Cosmic Crisp, and/or Golden Delicious), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Topping

  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup whole milk

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: Whisk together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon and set the mixture aside for later use.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or a dish of similar size to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook Apple Filling: In a pot over medium heat, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, fresh lemon juice, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground allspice, and kosher salt. Stir frequently until the apples are evenly coated and begin to soften, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add Vanilla to Filling: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the vanilla bean paste thoroughly. Transfer the warm apple mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Prepare Topping Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Pour in the melted unsalted butter and whole milk, then whisk gently until the batter is smooth and combined.
  6. Assemble Cobbler: Pour the prepared batter evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish. Use a rubber spatula to gently spread the batter so that it completely covers the apples.
  7. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Sprinkle the reserved cinnamon sugar evenly over the batter layer to enhance flavor and create a subtle crust.
  8. Bake Cobbler: Place the baking dish on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean and the cobbler is golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove the cobbler from the oven and transfer it to a cooling rack. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm alone or with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce as desired.

Notes

  • Use a mix of apple varieties like Honey Crisp, Cosmic Crisp, and Golden Delicious for a balanced sweet and tart flavor.
  • Whole milk is preferred for the topping for richer flavor, but you can substitute with 2% milk if needed.
  • Ensure apples are sliced uniformly to promote even cooking.
  • The cinnamon sugar sprinkle on top gives the cobbler a delightful crunchy texture and extra sweetness.
  • Let the cobbler rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the filling to set slightly for easier serving.
