Ingredients

Scale

For the Apples

  • 4 medium sized apples, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for sprinkling on apples)

For the Batter

  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup flour (or oatmeal flour)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk (or 1/2 cup if using oatmeal flour)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Peel and Slice Apples: Peel the 4 medium apples and slice them into evenly sized individual slices. This ensures even cooking and a consistent texture throughout the cobbler.
  2. Heat Oven and Melt Butter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place 6 tablespoons of butter into a 9×13 inch baking dish and allow it to melt completely in the oven while it preheats.
  3. Make the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour (or oatmeal flour), 1 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in 3/4 cup milk (or 1/2 cup if using oatmeal flour) just until the batter comes together. Pour this mixture evenly over the melted butter in the baking dish and smooth out to form an even layer.
  4. Pan-Broil the Apples: In a medium saucepan, add the sliced apples. Sprinkle 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon over the apples. Cook over medium heat just until the mixture comes to a slight boil and the sugar has melted, softening the apples slightly without making them mushy.
  5. Assemble and Bake: Spoon the warm apple and sugar mixture evenly over the batter layer in the baking dish. Lightly sprinkle additional cinnamon on top for extra flavor. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Using oatmeal flour will require less milk (1/2 cup) to achieve the right batter consistency.
  • Ensure apples are sliced evenly to promote uniform cooking.
  • For added texture, nuts like walnuts or pecans can be sprinkled on top before baking.
  • Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Adjust cinnamon to taste or add a pinch of nutmeg for additional spice.
