Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice to keep apples from browning
  • 1 cup granulated sugar adjust for sweeter apples
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg optional, but adds depth
For the topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour for the crust
  • 1 cup rolled oats adds texture
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar for that additional sweet layer
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). A hot oven is essential for crispy topping!
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well-coated.
  3. Arrange the apple mixture in a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Spread the topping over the apples, ensuring even coverage.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden and crispy, and the apples are bubbly.
Cooling
  1. Allow the cobbler to cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Consider healthier swaps by substituting half the butter with unsweetened applesauce. You can also add berries or peaches for variations.
