Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions for Homemade Apple Cobbler
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Wash and prepare the apples by peeling, coring, and slicing them into thin wedges.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg, then pour melted butter over the mix.
- Transfer the apple filling to the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
- Combine melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract in another bowl and whisk together.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently to form a batter.
- Spoon the cobbler batter evenly over the apple filling, allowing some apples to peek through.
- Mix remaining sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the topping.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- Test doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
- Cool for at least 20 minutes before serving with ice cream or whipped cream.
