Ingredients
Scale:
6 cups Fresh apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended), peeled, cored, and sliced
3/4 cup Granulated sugar
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
1 cup All-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Unsalted butter, melted
1 cup Milk
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature is perfect for achieving a golden crust while cooking the apples evenly.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are well coated. Let them sit while you prepare the topping.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures that your cobbler has a light and fluffy texture.
Add the melted butter and milk to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a lumpy batter is fine.
Pour the apple mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Carefully spoon the batter over the apples. It's okay if it doesn't cover them completely; it will spread while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean. Your kitchen will smell divine!
Allow the cobbler to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help it set up a bit, making it easier to scoop.
