Ingredients

For the apples:

  • 5 large apples (fuji, honey crisp, granny smith, pink lady) - peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 fresh lemon - freshly squeezed
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

For the topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 5 Tablespoons COLD unsalted butter - cubed
  • 1/3 cup boiling water
  • a sprinkle of sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Peel and slice the apples, and add to a mixing bowl. Add the fresh lemon juice, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch. Mix well, and pour into a greased cast iron skillet (or other oven friendly dish/pan).
  • Place skillet in oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the topping. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, and salt. Using a pastry cutter (or your hands), cut the COLD butter into the ingredients, until the topping resembles course crumbs.
  • Place 1/3 cup water in microwave, and heat until boiling. Pour over the topping ingredients, stir well, and add to top of skillet with apples. Top with a dusting of sugar.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Serve warm, fresh from the oven, with scoops of vanilla ice cream!

Notes

  1. Instead of using one kind of apple, feel free to mix a few different kinds!
  2. You can use a food processor or your hands (instead of a pastry cutter) to cut the butter into the topping mixture.
  3. Any oven friendly baking dish will work just fine for this cobbler. 
  4. You could also double this recipe and use a 9x13 baking dish.
