Easy Apple Cobbler
Warm cinnamon apples baked under a tender buttery cobbler topping.
Equipment
1 Mixing bowl and standard kitchen equipment
Ingredients
- 5 cups apples peeled and sliced
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or Sunrise flour if preferred
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar for topping
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 tbsp butter cold and cubed
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Butter an 8-inch square baking dish.
- Toss the apples with 1/3 cup sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Spread in the dish.
- Whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter, then stir in the milk just until a soft dough forms.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough over the apples. It does not need to cover every inch.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the topping is golden and the apple filling is bubbling.
Notes
Serve warm as-is or with vanilla ice cream.

Serving and Storage
A scoop of vanilla ice cream is hard to beat here. You can reheat individual servings in the microwave or warm the whole cobbler in a low oven.
