Cinnamon Apple Cobbler Recipe
Ingredients
Filling
- 8 medium apples, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 10 cups or 1200g)
- ½ cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup (31g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Topping
- ¾ cup (94g) all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup (85g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats
Optional: Salted caramel and vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or a similar 3.5-4 quart baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple chunks with brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well until the apples are evenly coated with the spices and sugar. Spread the filling evenly in the prepared baking pan.
3. Make the Topping
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut the cold, cubed butter into the mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it forms a crumbly texture. Add the rolled oats and stir to combine. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apple filling, covering the apples entirely.
4. Bake
Bake the cobbler in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and you can see the apple juices bubbling around the edges. The scent of cinnamon and apples will fill your home! Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes.
5. Serve
Serve the cobbler warm, at room temperature, or even chilled, based on your preference. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of salted caramel for an extra special touch.
