Apple Cobbler Recipe
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and have ready a 9 x 13-inch casserole or bake pan.
-
Core and peel apples and chop into inch chunks. Toss well with remaining filling ingredients and place in the casserole.
-
Place flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt into a large bowl and toss well with a fork. Use the fork or a pastry blender to mix in the butter until only small pieces of the butter remain. Beat the egg in a small bowl and mix into the other ingredients using the fork to distribute well.
-
Spoon topping evenly over the filling and bake for about 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling bubbles up around the edges.
-
Let stand until cooled to warm room temperature before serving.
Notes
-
Use Granny Smith apples in the cobbler if you want the pieces to remain separate and distinct; use Macintosh or Gala if you want them a bit softer. Or make a combination of different types of apple for the most interesting flavor.
-
The topping may be made in a food processor by pulsing all ingredients except the egg until the butter is in small pieces, then quickly pulse in the egg.
-
The cobbler instructions and topping may be used with any fruit you prefer – peaches or pears are especially good in this.
