Recipe Highlights

  • This baked apple cobbler recipe yields 6 dessert-size portions.
  • You can make this dish with any kind of apple, but my favorite is honey crisp. Tart apples like Jazz apples or golden delicious are ideal for baking, too. They are known for their firm texture and won’t cook down in baked dishes.
  • For quicker prep time use an electric peeler and an apple slicer.
  • This dish is a great way to use freshly picked apples from the Orchard. Or, most commonly used, store-bought apples.
  • In this recipe I replaced the flour with oat flour it was delicious and high in protein.

How to Make Baked Apple Cobbler

Apple cobbler is simple to make. Here’s all you have to do.

  1. Peel and slice apples. Peel the apples and slice them into equal-sized slices so the apples cook evenly throughout.
  2. Heat Oven. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Add butter to a 9×13 baking dish. Place the baking dish in the oven to melt the butter.Once the butter is melted, take the pan out and pour the batter over the melted butter.
  3. Make the cobbler batter. In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, sugar, and baking powder, and stir in milk just until combined. Pour the mixture over the melted butter and smooth into an even layer.
  4. Pan-broil. Pan broil the sliced apples by adding sliced apples to a medium-sized saucepan. Pour granulated sugar and salt over apples. Sprinkle cinnamon, and cook just until a slight boil, and the sugar melts.
  5. Put in a dish and bake. Spoon the apples over the batter mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon, and bake. Yay! your apple cobbler is ready to bake.

Ingredients & Substitutions

  • 4 Honey Crisp Apples (or any apple you prefer)
  • Granulate Sugar
  • Salt
  • Butter
  • Flour (Can substitute oatmeal flour, or chickpea flour)
  • Baking Powder
  • Milk (Can substitute almond milk or oat milk)
  • Cinnamon

Flour substitutes: If you’d like to substitute flour one of the best flour substitutes is chickpea flour.

Chickpea flour is most used in baked goods due to its “sturdy yet tender” texture. Likewise, you may also use oatmeal flour, if using just change the amount of liquid when baking this dish.

A helpful gadget I enjoy using when prepping this dish is Kitchen Aid Classic Fruit Slicer. I love how easy it is to core and slice apples. It makes prep time effortless.

Another tool I enjoy using is Starfrit Rotato Express, Electric Peeling. It’s one of my favorite gadgets to use in the kitchen and It makes peeling apples easy.

In this delicious dish, I used oatmeal flour for the batter. Needless to say, this dessert was amazing! And It was high in fiber and protein.

I love enjoying a warmed bowl of cobbler and washing it down with my favorite hot tea.

Notes

Apple variations:

  • Honey crisp: Perfect apple for baking and my personal favorite for baking due to this apple's firm texture. Honey crisp apples won't cook down and are one of the sweetest apples.
  • Jazz apples: Crunchy, sweet, in taste. Best eaten fresh or baked. Like the honey crisp apple, these apples stay firm when baking.
  • Russet apples: Flavor is sweet and spicy known best to be used in apple ciders and baking. These apples are not known for their appearance. However, these are one of the best apples for baking.
  • Fuji apples: Are one of the sweetest apples and also bake well. However, they are mostly eaten fresh or used to make homemade apple juice.

Flour substitutes:

  1. Chickpea flour: This is one of the best-known flour substitutes for baking. That is due to its denseness, it provides a "sturdy yet tender texture" and chickpea flour is high in protein.
  2. Oatmeal flour: This is another great flour substitute it is high in protein and fiber and makes for tasty baked goods. If using in replacement of flour add 1/2 cup of milk as opposed to 3/4 cup of milk when using regular flour in this recipe.
