Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for apples)
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (for apples)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces (for topping)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold milk
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently until the apples are evenly coated.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  4. Prepare the buttery cobbler topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter pieces using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Pour in the cold milk and stir just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the apple filling. The topping does not need to cover the apples completely; gaps are fine.
  8. Brush the tops of the dough mounds lightly with the beaten egg wash.
  9. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly and tender when pierced with a fork.
  10. Let the apple cobbler cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for the best dessert with ice cream experience.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for the best balance of tartness and texture that holds up well during baking.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute half of the all-purpose flour in the topping with whole wheat flour.
  • If you prefer a crispier topping, sprinkle an extra tablespoon of coarse sugar over the dough before baking.
