Old fashioned apple cobbler, an apple pie cousin that is filled with flavor!
Ingredients
For the Filling
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 6 cooking apples about 3 pounds, cored, peeled, and sliced
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
For the Cobbler
- 1 cup self-raising flour
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter frozen and grated
- ¼ - ¾ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon of sugar for topping
Instructions
- Freeze a 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Heat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter along with the sugar and lemon juice.
- Toss the apples with the flour then add to the melted butter. Add the cinnamon and nutmeg and a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally, cook for about 10 minutes until the apples just begin to soften.
- Transfer the apple mixture into a 12-inch skillet.
- In a separate mixing bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon.
- Grate the frozen butter and add to the flour mixture along with the milk, lightly mix until well combined but don't overwork it.
- Using a large spoon, divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions and arrange on top of the apples with a bit of space left in between to allow for the biscuits to rise and spread.
- Sprinkle the biscuits with a spoonful more of sugar and bake the apple cobbler in the preheated 350°F oven for 30 - 45 minutes or until the biscuits have started to lightly brown.
- Serve warm with ice cream if desired.
