Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 2 pounds apples, (cored, peeled and chopped (sweet or tart will work))
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, (divided)
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, (divided)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons half & half or heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, (melted and cooled)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • optional: vanilla ice cream for serving

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • In a large oven safe skillet, combine the apples, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and salt over medium heat. Cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring, until the apples have lightly caramelized and are soft but not mushy.
  • Mix together the lemon juice and cornstarch and stir it into the apple mixture. Remove from the heat.
  • Whisk together the flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In a liquid measuring cup, stir together the half and half, melted butter and vanilla extract. Pour the liquid ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined.
  • In a separate small bowl, mix together the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. For two smaller cobblers, divide the apple mixture evenly among two 5-inch oven safe skillets. For one large cobbler, leave the apples in the same skillet. Spoon the dough evenly on top of the apples and use a spatula to gently spread it out. The apples do not need to be completely covered. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top of the dough.
  • Bake for 18 - 22 minutes or until the sides are bubbly and the dough has cooked through. Serve hot with ice cream on top.
