One of my FAVORITE fall desserts is this traditional apple cobbler. Fresh apples are used in the cinnamon sauce, which is then topped with a delectable cake-like texture.
Many apple cobbler recipes call for a biscuit-like topping, but I preferred the old-fashioned cake-like topping I frequently use in my other recipes because it goes so well with the sauce and tender apples in this recipe.

Ingredients:
- 5 pounds of apples, roughly 9 to 11 large peeled apples, and a variety of flavors
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest (from 1 small lemon)
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice (from 1 small lemon)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
- If you’re making this without cooking the apples, see the notes. 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour*
- 1 & 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 & 1/2 cups all purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
- 1 & 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup buttermilk** (cheater version okay, see notes)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup cold butter (chopped into chunks)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (granulated or raw sugar or both)
- vanilla ice cream (for serving, not optional ;))
Instruction:
- Make the apple filling: Choose your apples. This recipe calls for 5 pounds of apples, which is equivalent to 9 to 11 large apples. For the best flavor, I like to combine apples like Granny Smith, Gala, and Golden Delicious.
- Slice half a teaspoon of lemon peel into a 12-inch skillet with high sides using a microplane grater. (See Note for directions on how to prepare this without first cooking the apples; you can omit the skillet and place raw apples directly in the baking dish. ) Cut the lemon in half and squeeze 3 tablespoons of juice into the pan.
- Use a vegetable peeler or one of those convenient apple peelers to peel all the apples. Slice the apples very thin, about 1/8 inch, see photos. You should have about 9 cups of sliced apples in the end. Add your apples to the skillet with the lemon. As you peel the apples, occasionally toss them with the lemon juice to prevent bruising.
- Cook the apples. Once all the apples have been peeled and sliced in the pan, turn the stove to medium heat (remember this is optional; see notes!)
- Over the apples in the pan, sprinkle 3/4 cups of granulated sugar and 3/4 cups of packed brown sugar. Five tablespoons of flour, one and a half teaspoons of cinnamon, one and a half teaspoons of nutmeg, one-fourth or one-half teaspoon of cardamom (delicious but optional), and one-fourth teaspoon of kosher salt should be added to the apples. To avoid breaking all the apples, gently stir the ingredients together.
- Set a timer for 20 minutes once the mixture is completely moistened and there are no visible flour or cinnamon patches. Cover the mixture with a lid but don’t walk away. Stay put and stir the mixture approximately every three minutes, replacing the lid each time. Cook the apples for 20 minutes, or until they are tender but still have some shape. The pectin’s magic will prevent the apples from softening any more while they bake in the oven. So after tasting, decide whether you want to cook for a longer or shorter period of time. Only you can know your apple al dente perfection level.
- Once it’s off heat, stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Into a 9×13 inch casserole dish, scrape the cooked apples and all the caramel-y goodness. Set aside to cool for a couple minutes.
- Make the cobbler topping:Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
- The dry ingredients—2 and 1/2 cups flour, 1 and 1/2 cups sugar, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder—should be combined in a big bowl. Whisk it together.
- Combine 1/2 cup buttermilk* and 1 egg in a small bowl. Pour it into the bowl containing the flour and combine it with the flour using a pastry cutter to create a shaggy dough. If you don’t have a pastry cutter, you can use a spoon or fork; just make sure to cut the ingredients rather than stir them. If there are still a few dry flour spots, that’s alright. Spread evenly by pouring or spooning the flour mixture over the apples in the 9×13 pan.
- Chop a stick of butter into 1/2 inch pieces. Scatter evenly over the top of the flour mixture.
- Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over the top. To give it more crunch, I used a combination of demerara (raw) sugar and half granulated sugar.
- Bake at 375 for 45-55 minutes. The top should be turning light brown. It is finished when the top is light brown throughout (rather than just a few spots), and it is bubbling wildly. At this point, broil the cobbler for one to three minutes if you prefer an especially crispy top. No need to move the oven rack up. It gives it a more pronounced crisp browning, which I adore. Who doesn’t want a crispy, crunchy top? But don’t leave it unattended; I can’t tell you how many things in my broiler I’ve accidentally set ablaze. Check it every 60 seconds.
- You are supposed to let it cool completely. Vanilla ice cream is not even an option for serving; wait 15 minutes for the juices to set up, then dig in.
- After two days, move leftovers to the refrigerator by covering them loosely on the counter.
