Add sweetener to apples. To the sliced apples, add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and corn starch – and mix well. Pour into a 9x9 baking dish.
1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 2 teaspoons cornstarch
Bake the apples. Bake the apples for about 20 minutes on 400 degrees. This will ensure that the apples are soft.
Prepare the topping. In a mixing bowl, combine the topping ingredients – the flour, both sugars, baking powder, and salt. Then add the vanilla extract and melted butter and stir well.
1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Add topping to apples. Add topping mixture to the partially baked apples. You can use your fingers to add it. Then add some sparkling sugar to the top.

Bake. Finish the cobbler by baking for another 20-25 minutes. If the topping starts to get too brown, you can cover it with foil for part of the baking time.
Serve. Serve this delicious apple cobbler with scoops of ice cream! Best eaten warm out of the oven!

Notes

Use your favorite baking apples - Braeburn, Fuji, Gala, Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Jonathan, etc.
Instead of using one kind of apple, feel free to mix a few different kinds.
I recommend serving this cobbler with our Homemade Vanilla Bean Ice Cream or Cinnamon Ice Cream for the BEST combo!
You could also double this recipe and use a 9x13 baking dish.
