How to Make Apple Cobbler
Ingredients
- 6-8 large apples (peeled, cored, and sliced (approximately 1/4", approximately 9 cups of apples))
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup butter (melted)
- Ice cream & caramel sauce if desired for topping
Directions
- Start by peeling, coring, and slicing 6 to 8 apples into 1/4-inch wedges, which should yield around 9 cups.
- In a bowl, combine the apples with 2/3 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Spread this mixture evenly in a 13×9 inch baking dish.
- In another bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups of sugar, 2 beaten eggs, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. This will create a crumbly mixture for the topping.
- Sprinkle the flour mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter (2/3 cup) on top.
- Bake at 350°F for 45 to 55 minutes or until it turns beautifully golden brown.
- Allow it to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm, either on its own or topped with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of caramel, for a sweet finish.
