Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh apples
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Spices and Seasonings:
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Baking and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup milk (whole or 2%)
Topping:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter.
- Peel and slice apples into uniform thin wedges, ensuring consistent thickness for even baking.
- Whisk together flour, white sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and crack eggs into the middle, adding vanilla extract and milk.
- Melt butter and incorporate into the baking mixture, stirring until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms.
- Arrange apple slices in a single layer across the prepared baking dish, creating an even fruit base.
- Carefully pour the cinnamon-spiced batter over the apples, gently spreading to cover most of the fruit layer.
- Combine topping sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly across the entire cobbler surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until the top turns golden brown and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving, which helps the cobbler set and intensifies the flavors.
Notes
- Precision matters when slicing apples to ensure uniform thickness, which guarantees consistent baking and texture throughout the cobbler.
- Select crisp, tart apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for a balanced sweetness and perfect structural integrity during baking.
- Gluten-free adaptation is possible by substituting all-purpose flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free blend, maintaining the original recipe’s delicate structure.
- Reduce sugar content by using half the recommended amount of white and brown sugar, or replace with natural sweeteners like stevia for a lighter dessert option.
