Apple Cobbler
Apple cobbler made simple! Tart apples, sweet crunchy topping…don’t forget the scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Quick question.
Is it too soon to start with the fall inspired apple recipes?
I mean, I love summer just as much as the next guy, but I made the mistake of searching Pinterest for fall decorations and, well, here we are with this easy apple cobbler recipe.
I have some new pumpkin recipes sitting in my drafts just waiting for me to hit publish, but I have a feeling y’all will revolt if I publish pumpkin in July.
But just know…it’s coming. And I’m ready for it. Brace yourselves.
Anyway, I feel like apple recipes can happen anytime of year. Agree? Please say yes. Because this apple cobbler is DIVINE.
The tender apples bursting with cinnamon, the crunchy topping, served warm with a scoop of vanilla. And maybe a drizzle of caramel, because WHY NOT.
How to make apple cobbler:
We’re going to start with Granny Smith apples. They’re nice and tart which keeps this apple cobbler from getting too sweet. You can use whatever tart apples you like best, though.
Peel and slice your apples up and then toss them in some sugar and cinnamon. I’m using a 1/2 cup of sugar, but I recommend tasting your apples before you add the sugar. You can absolutely reduce or increase it based on how sweet/tart your apples are. And keep in mind that the topping is sweet too, so don’t overdo the sugar. 🙂
Add your apples to a 9×13 baking dish and then prepare the topping.
This simple apple cobbler topping is made with just flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and eggs. You’ll stir everything together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the topping over the apples – it’s a lot of topping because I believe the topping is the best part. 😉
Next, you’ll drizzle melted butter over the top of everything. Butter makes this nice and rich and allows the topping to bake up crispy, crunchy, and golden brown.
Bake for 45 minutes to an hour – you want the topping to be golden brown.
I let this cool for about 10 minutes before scooping out a big portion and topping it off with some vanilla ice cream.
A drizzle of caramel sauce certainly won’t hurt things either.

Thanks for the recipes! Curious about the butter – salted? Unsalted? Does it matter? Thank you!
I use salted, but either will work.

I’m loving the topping to fruit ratio! I’m a cobbler crust lover too! This looks delish!
I love apple recipes all year-round! This cobbler looks delicious 🙂
is there amy egg rrplacment which can be used
I haven’t tried this with anything other than egg.
Tried it and was not disappointed with the outcome make sure to taste your apples for tartness
I’m wanting to bake this today, it looks delicious! I might have missed something, what are the measurements of flour, sugar, cinnamon, etc in the topping?
Hmm, it’s all there. Are you looking at the gray recipe card? The ingredients for the topping are just under the ingredients for the filling.
Yep it was there, thanks for the guidance.
Thank you very much for this lovely recipe!
do you grease the baking pan?
As a child, Johnny Appleseed was my hero so please post Apple recipes anytime
I was looking for a recipe like that of my old business school boy friend’s German mother’s-which was about 40 years ago. Since there is no interest in contacting this man—there were several very good reasons why we didn’t stay together—I turned to the internet. His mother didn’t add anything to the apples, and she probably used 1/2 cup butter. I like the cinnamon addition. Yesterday, I made an apple crisp using brown sugar and oatmeal. Traditional, perhaps, but not what I was looking for. Thank y ou.
I baked this today, the only modification I made was that I replaced 1/2 of the white sugar brown sugar . It was delicious, my family wants more !
Absolutely BEST apple dessert EVER!!!!! Only mistake I made was making only half the recipe-it was gone in no time!!
So glad it was a hit! 🙂
Love it! I made a couple changes….added cinnamon sugar to the crust recipe and some cinnamon. Turned out great!
I loooooove how this apple cobbler turned out!
Needed one more egg for it to crumble. Was not sure about the taste as it seemed too sugary rather than a crumble.
going to make this today for a luncheon date tomorrow will def, add the caramel sauce on top..
This was perfect!!!! The perfect cobbler crust! Can’t wait to make it again.
Outstanding recipe got devoured thank you
So glad to hear that!
I like to use brown sugar when making this. For some reason, it just makes it more homey.
Can you make this a day a head of time or do you have to make it the day you are going to serve it?
This would be fine made a day in advance. 🙂
