We first tasted this wonderful dessert at a friend’s place where we had lunch, outside on a particularly chilly early fall day. I asked our host to give JT a bit more so I could have a taste, and I almost couldn’t stop. It is THAT good. And it’s so easy to make, I can whip it up in a matter of minutes. I have significantly reduced (about half) the sugar and butter content, but don’t turn away, it is plenty rich and delicious! The dessert works well with fresh fruit but also works well with frozen fruit (defrost and drain first so it doesn’t wet the batter too much).
What is really amazing (and delicious) is the way the batter caramelizes in the butter, it becomes so moreish! You will abandon all other cobbler recipes!!! I kid you not.
Magic Apple Cobbler
Makes one 17 cm x 27 cm (6 3/4 inch x 10 3/4 inch) pan of fruit-filled, caramelized cobbler
Please click here for the original recipe.
Ingredients:
- 90 g unsalted butter
- 150 g AP flour
- 150 g sugar, divided
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, divided
- 175 mL whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp almond essence
- 2 medium apples, peeled and cubed
Directions:
- Melt the butter in a 17 cm x 27 cm (6 3/4 inch x 10 3/4 inch) pan (same pan you will use for the cobbler) as the oven is pre-heating to 375F. Remove the pan from the oven when butter had melted.
- Combine the flour, sugar (less 2 tbsp), baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon and salt. Combine the milk, vanilla and almond essence and stir well.
- Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Spoon the batter into the melted butter, don’t worry that it’s messy.
- Sprinkle the cubed apples onto the batter and press them into the batter.
- Combine the remaining 2 tbsp sugar and 1/2 tsp cinnamon and sprinkle over the apples and batter.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Serve warm but not straight from the oven.
You had me at caramelized:) This really does sound wonderful. I make apple crisp and apple cake, they’re both yummy but do require some time and planning. I like the idea of being able to whip something up last minute (so handy to have recipes like that) and this one sounds especially delicious so I want to try! Who doesn’t like a little magic in their life, x

Well, I’ve never had an apple cobbler, but after your description, I think I need to! Although, on the other hand, a dessert I cannot stop eating might be one that should be kept secret from me. 😉

I love cobblers (any fruit dessert, really) and this does look particularly nice. This is a good size cobbler, too — not too big. But big enough so I can have seconds. 🙂

It certainly sounds like a winner. I know what you mean by the term “moreish”. While it’s not the same as “umami” it’s equally hard to define but immediately identifiable when it hits your mouth. GREG
