Apple Cobbler is a dessert made up of a baked apple filling and a simple biscuit-like topping. It is similar to apple crisp, which instead has a crunchy topping often made with oatmeal.

Ingredients

Filling

• 6 cups sliced, peeled, and cored baking apples
• ⅔ cup sugar
• 6 Tbsp water (divided into 4 and 2)
• 1 Tbsp cornstarch

Topping

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ cup butter
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup milk

Procedure

Filling

1. Stir together apples, ⅔ cup sugar and 4 Tbsp water in a large saucepan. Simmer, covered for 5 minutes or until fruit is tender.
2. Add 2 Tbsp water and 1 Tbsp cornstarch. Cook, stirring, until thick and bubbly.

Topping

1. In a medium bowl stir together flour, 2 Tbsp sugar, and baking powder.
2. Cut in butter until mixture resembles large crumbs. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl stir together the egg and milk. Add to flour mixture, just to moisten.

Assembly

1. Transfer filling to 2-quart square baking dish.
2. Using a large spoon, drop topping into small mounds on top of the filling.
3. Bake for 20–25 minutes in a 400 °F (205 °C) oven.
