Fall Favorite: Apple Cobbler

Stop by my parent’s house in September or October and likely you will not leave without a bag filled with granny smith apples from their tree.

My father grafts several varieties of apples on to his trees, but the Granny Smiths are the ones that are the most prolific, and they’re also great for pies, applesauce, apple butter, and apple cobbler.

One of our favorite things to make with our apples is this apple cobbler. The filling is seasoned with cinnamon, lemon, and vanilla and isn’t overly sweet. The buttermilk biscuit cobbler crust is speckled with bits of candied ginger.

Try This Easy Apple Cobbler

As much as we love a good apple pie, apple cobbler is much less fussy. You don’t have to chill the dough, or roll out a pie crust.

You just spoon the crust dough on top of the apple filling. So you get the great taste of pie with half the work!

How to Store Leftover Apple Cobbler

Apple cobbler is best when served warm from the oven. That said, the warmed leftovers make a quick and easy dessert during the week, and like pie, can be just what you need for breakfast too.

Cover the cobbler and store it in the fridge for up to five days. The topping will soften with time, but will still taste fine.

Reheat individual servings in the microwave in 30-second bursts until warmed, or reheat in a toaster oven.

Can You Make Apple Cobbler Ahead?

Since cobbler is best the day it’s made, can it really be made ahead? Not from start to finish, but you can make the different components and then assemble and bake the cobbler when you’re ready.

• Make the filling, let it cool, and store its own container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Mix the dry ingredients and then cut in the butter. Store this in an airtight container for up to three days. (As long as its kept cold, the butter won’t melt into the flour.)
• Wait to measure out the buttermilk until you’re ready to make the cobbler.

When you’re ready to bake, transfer the filling to the pan, mix the buttermilk into the topping, and bake. You might need to add an extra few minutes to the total baking time for the apples to warm up and start bubbling. If the top starts to brown before the filling is bubbling, tent the pan with foil.

This is a particularly good approach if you plan on making the cobbler at someone else’s house; it’s easier to transport the different components than it is to transport a hot, just-baked cobbler.

Can Apple Cobbler be Frozen?

You can make and freeze the filling for up to a month ahead. Thaw completely before assembling and baking.

Apple Cobbler

There are a lot of different types of apple cobbler recipes. This apple cobbler is made with a cake topping rather than a biscuit topping. It reminds me of the one my grandma used to make. The smell of this baking with fill your kitchen will knock your socks off. The combination of apples, cinnamon, and cake topping creates the perfect fall fragrance.

This makes a generous 9X13 inch baking dish so it’s perfect to make when you need dessert for a group. It’s always a hit! It’s great served with homemade whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. I love making apple pie and sour cream apple pie, but I have to confess, putting together this cobbler is much easier and the results are every bit as tasty!

What is the difference between apple crisp and apple cobbler?

Basically, an apple crisp has a crispy buttery topping often made with a little oatmeal, some nuts like I use in my peach crisp (one of my most popular peach recipes!). An apple cobbler is made with a fluffy cake-like topping. Both are filled with similar cinnamony apple fillings!

Important Ingredient Notes, Tips + Tricks

• Best apple to use: Granny Smith is my favorite. I like that they bake up tender and soft but they don’t get mushy unless you overbake your apple crisp! My grandma always used them so I think I’m extra attached to them. Fujis are nice because they hold their shape well when baked and they have a great flavor. Honeycrisp holds up well in baking and their flavor is off the charts delish. Gala apples are nice because they hold up well in the baking process. Try a combination to create a more complex and layered flavor in your apple cobbler with fresh apples .
• Vanilla Extract – Use pure vanilla extract, not artificial, for the best flavor.
• Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg – Remember when it comes to ground spices the flavor is best when used within 6 months after opening. Check out this article if you want to read more about spices.
• Dark Brown Sugar – The difference between light and dark brown sugar is simply the amount of molasses each contains. In this recipe, I prefer the flavor of dark brown. In a pinch, if all you have is light brown you can, however, substitute it. Make sure you pack the brown sugar firmly.
• Cutting Butter In Topping: Why should you cut butter into your flour and not just mix it all quickly? You want those chunks of unmelted butter to stick around! That’s what will give you really tender, moist cake at the end.

Step By Step How To Make

1. Combine filling. In a mixing bowl, toss the apples, lemon juice, lemon peel (1 teaspoon), and vanilla together.
2. Sprinkle sugar, flour, cinnamon; ginger, nutmeg, and salt toss to combine.
3. Bake. Pour into prepared baking dish. Place in preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
4. Make the topping. In a medium bowl, add all the topping ingredients, except the boiling water.
5. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like a coarse meal.
6. Pour in the boiling water and stir just until the mixture comes together and is just mixed through.
7. Assemble. After the apples have been baked for 15 minutes, pull them from the oven and drop large spoonfuls of the dough topping over apples. Evenly sprinkle the top of the dough with 3 tablespoons of sugar.
8. Bake. Place the baking dish on a cookie sheet, in case the cobbler bubbles over and drips, and return to the oven for 20-30 minutes.

It’s truly irresistible and must have fall recipe!

Apple Cobbler

I’m sure this will be a go-to fall recipe for me. I made it a few times to get everything perfect (or because it was so good and I was looking for an excuse) and I really just love everything about it!

From the juicy, lightly sweetened apple filling to the fluffy, tender and buttery topping, and the final touch of cinnamon sugar on top. You just can’t go wrong with this recipe!

I adapted this from my Peach Cobbler so I knew going going to be good. And yes it’s unbelievably good! You’ll be savoring every last bite.

Ingredients for Apple Cobbler

• 3 lbs golden delicious apples (use firm fresh ones)
• 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/3 cup (72g) packed light-brown sugar
• 2 tsp cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, diced into small cubes

• 1 1/2 cups (210g) all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 10 Tbsp unsalted butter, cold, diced into small cubes
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 Tbsp granulated sugar mixed with 1/2 tsp cinnamon, for topping

How to Make Apple Cobbler from Scratch

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• For the filling, peel and core apples then cut into slices a little over 1/4-inch thick. Cut slices in half.
• Place apples in a prepared baking dish then toss with lemon juice. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan whisk together brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and apple juice. Add butter then heat mixture over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until it reaches a simmer. Let simmer 30 seconds then remove from heat.
• Pour brown sugar mixture over apples in baking dish, toss to coat. Set aside.

How To Make the Topping

• In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Add butter and using a pastry cutter or fork cut butter into mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Make a well in center of mixture.
• Pour buttermilk into center then pour vanilla into buttermilk. Fold mixture with a rubber spatula just until combined (don’t over-mix, it should be lumpy).
• Dollop spoonfuls of mixture across apple layer (about 12 across top, don’t spread it will spread as it bakes).
• Sprinkle evenly with 1 Tbsp sugar and cinnamon mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven until apples are soft, about 35 – 45 minutes (tent will foil to prevent excess browning during last 10 minutes as needed).
• Let cool 10 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

What is the Best Type of Apple to Use for Apple Cobbler?

In my opinion the best apple to use here is hands down the Golden Delicious apple, for a number of reasons.

• First, Golden Delicious have such an appley flavor. More than most.
• Second, they bake up perfectly tender and even a little soft (this doesn’t bake as long as an apple pie ). And a softer filling is is what we look for in cobbler, no crisp apples here.
• Third it has a medium sweetness so you don’t end up with an overbearingly sweet cobbler.
• Fourth they’re a juicy apple, another thing I like about a good cobbler is a juicy base.

Better than Bisquick Apple Cobbler

Skip the Bisquick topping and canned pie filling and go with this from scratch version instead, it’s so much better!

Sure with this all homemade version there may be a list of ingredients and the annoying step of peeling, coring aaaand slicing the apples but it’s worth it because if you ask me it’s the best apple cobbler you’ll ever eat!

It’s just one of those easy, back to basic, old school recipes that doesn’t require a mixer. Just a few bowls and simple kitchen tools here. It’s easier than you’d think!

Apple Cobbler

This homemade Apple Cobbler is going to become one of your favorite fall desserts. Just a few ingredients to make this warm and comforting dessert.

Easy Apple Cobbler

Fall is just around the corner which means it is time for some serious apple dessert recipes. Pinterest and Facebook will be filled with all sorts of amazing comforting apple recipes. One of my favorite fall desserts is my Easy Apple Crisp. My hubby and kiddos request it frequently during the fall.

When fall arrives and apple desserts are baking in the oven, the entire house becomes cozy from the scent of the cinnamon and apples baking. I purchased bunches and bunches of apples this past week when doing our grocery shopping. I enjoyed a few with some of my Homemade Caramel and decided I would make a couple of other apple desserts this week.

After doing a bit of googling, I came across Paula Deen’s Cobbler recipe. The reviews were all so good. Since her recipe was for peach cobbler, I knew if it was good with peaches, it definitely had to be good with apples. Cinnamon and apples are such a good combination. I knew they had to be good with her cobbler mixture.

Wow… I was so right. The apple filling that I used for my Apple Cobbler was so super simple and paired so well with Paula’s dough mixture. After I grabbed some pictures for the blog, the entire casserole dish was wiped clean. My daughter and her friend ate the majority while leaving just a few small servings for the rest of us. I topped mine with some vanilla ice cream because…. ice cream is always perfect with warm apple desserts.

I had requests the very next day for me to make another dish of this cobbler. The entire family thinks it will be a recipe that is made over and over again this fall. I think we may add it to our Thanksgiving dessert menu. Plus… it will be great for fall potlucks too!

If you plan to make this apple cobbler, you will only need a few simple ingredients. I used fresh apples but you could make this recipe with a can of store bought apple pie filling too. Paula used self rising flour. If you have that on hand, you will not need the baking powder and salt. I did not have any on hand so made my own with those two ingredients.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE APPLE COBBLER

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Add the butter to a 9X13 baking dish. Now, place it in the oven until it is melted. Take it out of the oven and set it aside.
Next, peel, core and slice your apples. I used a Granny Smith Apple because it is my favorite for baking. Add the apples to a large bowl.

Then, add 1/4 cup flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to the apple slices. Now, mix until well coated. Set the bowl aside.

In another large bowl, whisk together remaining flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until blended. Next, add the milk slowly while whisking

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

Then, add the apple mixture on top of the batter.

Finally, bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown.

Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream. Or, enjoy at room temperature.
