Ingredients

Scale
  • 68 medium Firm Baking Apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (for topping)
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Cream of Tartar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 cup Cold Unsalted Butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup Milk (whole or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar (for cinnamon-sugar coating)
  • 1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon (for cinnamon-sugar coating)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Oven and Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the Apple Base: Peel, core, and slice your apples into roughly 1/4-inch thick pieces. Place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the apples. Toss everything together until the apples are thoroughly coated. Pour the spiced apple mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly. Dot the top with the small cubes of unsalted butter.
  3. Whip Up the Snickerdoodle Topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and cut it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Pour in the milk and stir gently until just combined.
  4. Assemble Your Cobbler: Dollop spoonfuls of the snickerdoodle topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the additional granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for your coating and sprinkle this mixture generously over the topping.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the apple filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the topping; it should come out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

Keywords: Choose firm baking apples for the best texture. Don't overmix the topping to ensure a tender, flaky result. Allow the cobbler to rest before serving for optimal gooeyness.
