Ingredients
  

Apple Filling
  • 8 medium Granny Smith apples ideal for their tartness
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar adds sweetness to the apple mixture
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar brings a rich, caramel note to the filling
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour helps thicken the filling as it cooks
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon infuses warm spice that complements the apples
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg adds depth and a hint of earthiness
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt balances the flavors and enhances sweetness
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice brightens the apple flavors and prevents browning
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor profile
Cobbler Topping
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour forms the base of your crumbly topping
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar sweetens the topping to contrast the apple filling
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder gives the topping its light and fluffy texture
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt further balances the sweetness
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter chilled and cubed for a rich and flaky crust
  • 1 cup whole milk adds moisture and helps bind the ingredients together
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract echoes the vanilla in the filling
  • 1 tablespoon turbinado or coarse sugar for an added crunchy sweetness on top (optional)

Equipment

  • 9×13-inch baking dish
  • large bowl
  • mixing bowl
  • pastry cutter

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Toss the apples in a large bowl with granulated and brown sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  3. Spread the apple mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in another bowl for the topping.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter until you achieve coarse crumbs.
  6. Stir in cold milk and vanilla extract until just combined.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the topping over the apples, leaving some gaps.
  8. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar, if desired.
  9. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
