Apple Cobbler Recipe
Apple cobbler is a traditional dessert that dates back to the early American settlers. Unlike pies, which require more skill and time to make, cobblers were a simpler, quicker option.
Equipment
- 9x13 inch baking dish
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Knife and cutting board
Ingredients
- Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced): 6 medium-sized
- Granulated sugar: 1 cup
- Brown sugar: 1/4 cup
- All-purpose flour: 1 cup
- Baking powder: 1 teaspoon
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Unsalted butter (melted): 1/2 cup
- Milk: 1 cup
- 1 teaspoon: Vanilla extract
- Lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. Place the apple slices in a mixing bowl and drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In another mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Add the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the batter into the greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Evenly distribute the apple slices on top of the batter. The apples will sink slightly as they bake, creating a delicious layer of fruit within the cobbler.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
