Cinnamon Apple Cobbler Recipe

Discover a homemade dessert featuring tender apple slices infused with cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon, layered beneath a cake-like, buttery batter. The warm, inviting aroma and perfect balance of sweet and tart flavors make it an irresistible choice for Winter Treats To Bake and Take And Bake Meals Families Dinners.

I love preparing this Cinnamon Apple Cobbler because it brings a real homestyle feel to the table. I start off slicing 6 medium apples that have been peeled and cored, tossing them in 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (with a little extra for dustin), 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice and a pinch of salt.

This mix gives you a dessert thats not only tasty but packs decent vitamin C from the apples. For the cake-like batter, I blend 1 cup all-purpose flour with another cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter.

Its simple to make and a great option when you want a warm, family dinner dessert or an apple cobler for one. Its perfect for fall and even works well with other take and bake meals.

Enjoy this comforting treat knowing its a balanced mix of taste and nutrition.

Why I Like this Recipe

I really love this recipe for a few reasons. First, the flavors are amazing. When I mix the apples with cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt it really brings out a warm, cozy taste that reminds me of fall. Second, its super easy to make. The steps are pretty simple and even if you aren’t an expert in the kitchen, you can still throw it together and have a delicious dessert ready. Third, I love the texture contrast. The soft baked apples underneath that cake-like batter are a perfect combo that makes every bite interesting. Fourth, that little extra sprinkle of cinnamon on top gives it an extra kick that makes the dessert feel special.

FAQ

Cinnamon Apple Cobbler Recipe Substitutions and Variations

• Try swapping the granulated sugar used for the apples with brown sugar. It gives a deeper flavor and a bit of moisture.
• If you dont have all-purpose flour, you can use whole wheat flour instead but keep in mind the texture may change a little.
• No unsalted butter? Melted coconut oil works as a substitute and adds a hint of coconut flavor.
• If milk isn’t available or you prefer a dairy-free option, almond milk or soy milk will do just fine.
• For a slight twist on the cinnamon flavor, you can mix in a pinch of allspice or even try pumpkin pie spice in addition to the usual cinnamon.

Pro Tips

1. Let the apple mixture chill for 10-15 minutes before you add the batter so that the spices have enough time to really soak in the apples.
2. When mixing the batter, stir it gently so you dont overwork the flour which can make the dessert come out tough.
3. Be sure that the melted butter is just warm enough when you mix it in; if it’s too hot, it might affect the consistency of your batter.
4. Use a light hand when you sprinkle the extra cinnamon on top so you dont overwhelm the apple flavor with too much spice.
