This classic Apple Cinnamon Cobbler is a warm, comforting dessert featuring tender, cinnamon-spiced baked apples topped with a buttery, sweet cobbler crust. Perfectly balanced with a hint of vanilla and a sparkling sugar topping for added crunch, it’s best served warm with creamy vanilla ice cream for a delightful finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Apple Filling

  • 5 large baking apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 fresh lemon, freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Cobbler Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Sparkling sugar, for topping

To Serve

  • Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples. Place them in a mixing bowl and drizzle with the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Toss to coat the apples evenly, preventing browning.
  2. Add sweetener to apples: Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch to the sliced apples. Mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients and evenly coat the apple slices. Transfer this mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  3. Bake the apples: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the apple mixture for about 20 minutes until the apples begin to soften but are not fully cooked through.
  4. Prepare the topping: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and kosher salt. Add the vanilla extract and melted butter, stirring until you get a cohesive, crumbly dough mixture.
  5. Add topping to apples: Evenly distribute the topping over the partially baked apples. Use your fingers to crumble the topping gently for an even layer. Sprinkle sparkling sugar on top for a decorative crunch.
  6. Bake the cobbler: Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and cooked through. If the topping browns too quickly, tent with foil to prevent burning during the final minutes of baking.
  7. Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with generous scoops of vanilla ice cream on the side for a creamy contrast to the spiced apples and crispy topping.

Notes

  • Use baking apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn for the best texture and tartness.
  • Adjust sugar based on apple sweetness and personal preference.
  • For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
  • Sparkling sugar adds an attractive crunch but can be omitted if unavailable.
