Ingredients

6 whole apples (3 red and 3 green for best results), peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp all purpose flour spoon and level
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
2 tbsp butter diced

Dough

1/2 cup butter softened
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour spoon and level
2/3 cup sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tbsp sugar to sprinkle on top of the cobbler

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325F. Then, prepare a 9x13’’ baking tray.
Mix sliced apples in the baking tray, except for butter, with the remaining filling ingredients. Then add chopped butter on top. Set it aside.
Incorporate all the ingredients for the dough except the milk into a large bowl and mix until well combined. Then, add buttermilk and combine. The result will be a soft and stiff batter.
Drop pieces of batter on top of the apples. Leave some spaces between as the dough will spread. Next, sprinkle 2 tbsp of sugar on top. This adds a sweet crunch to the cobbler's crust and enhances its overall appeal.
Bake the apple cobbler at 325F for 45-50 minutes or until the top is brownish. Keep an eye on it towards the end to prevent over-browning. The goal is a golden-brown top with a fully cooked and tender filling.
Serve with ice cream on top.

Tips

Choose a mix of red and green apples for the filling; a combination of both provides a balance of sweetness and tartness.
Serve the apple cobbler warm, and consider topping it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The combination of warm cobbler and cold ice cream creates a delightful contrast in temperature and texture.
Refrigerate the cobbler within two hours of baking. This helps maintain food safety by preventing the growth of bacteria that can occur at room temperature.
Leftover cobbler is best enjoyed within 2-3 days for optimal flavor and texture. While it may still be safe to eat after this period, the quality may start to decline.
When ready to enjoy the leftover cobbler, reheat it in the oven at a low temperature (around 325°F) to preserve its texture. You can cover it with foil to prevent excessive browning.

Recipe Notes

A delicious blend of red and green apples, coated in a sweet cinnamon-nutmeg mixture, tucked beneath a golden-brown layer of buttery cobbler. The topping, a soft and vanilla-infused dough, is sprinkled with sugar for a delightful crunch. This Apple Cobbler is a warm and comforting dessert, best enjoyed fresh from the oven or reheated, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat—a simple and satisfying way to savor the flavors of fall.
