Description
Warm apple chunks tossed in cinnamon spice bake beneath a soft, buttery snickerdoodle batter, bubbling with sweet juices and a crackly cinnamon-sugar crust. Serve straight from the oven for irresistible cozy bites.
Ingredients
- 2 cups peeled diced tart apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch baking dish.
- Toss the diced apples with lemon juice and spread them evenly in the prepared dish.
- Sprinkle the light brown sugar and ground nutmeg over the apples.
- Place the butter in the dish and melt it in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove carefully.
- In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and the first measure of ground cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl beat the egg, then stir in the milk and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter and apples in the dish without stirring.
- In a small bowl combine the remaining granulated sugar and ground cinnamon; sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Allow the cobbler to cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- For extra gooey texture serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice flavor contrast.
- Adjust the cinnamon sugar topping to your taste preference.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to two days.
