There is nothing quite like the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven on a slow afternoon. This cobbler is a family favorite because it feels special but comes together with simple pantry staples.

My best tip is to use a mix of apple varieties if you have them. Using one crisp type like Granny Smith and one sweeter type like Honeycrisp gives you the perfect balance of texture and flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

  • 6 large apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice until well coated, then spread them evenly into the bottom of your baking dish.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

  4. 4

    Add the beaten egg to the flour mixture and stir until you have a crumbly texture.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the apples.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the melted butter over the entire top of the cobbler.

  7. 7

    Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.

  8. 8

    Let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving so the syrup can set.

💡 Tips

Serve this warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream. If you have leftovers, keep them in the fridge covered tightly for up to three days and warm individual portions in the microwave.
