Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup milk (or buttermilk for extra tang)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, 1/2 cup 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. Pour the 1/4 cup of water over the apples.
  4. Prepare the buttery biscuit topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in the milk until just combined to form a soft dough. Do not overmix.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the dough evenly over the apple filling, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar over the topping.
  9. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling thickly.
  10. Let the cobbler cool for at least 15 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • For a shortcut, you can substitute the apple filling ingredients with one 21-ounce can of apple pie filling.
  • If you prefer a snickerdoodle flavor, add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar to the dry topping ingredients.
  • This rustic apple cobbler is best served warm to enjoy the gooey apple filling.
