Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • For the Filling:
  • 6 medium apples peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • For the Biscuit Topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter cubed
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  • Prepare the Apple Filling
  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
  • Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with caramel sauce and melted butter.
  • Make the Biscuit Topping
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Add buttermilk and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Assemble the Cobbler
  • Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit topping over the apple filling. Leave some gaps for the filling to bubble through while baking.
  • Bake the Cobbler
  • Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Cool and Serve
  • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce if desired.
  • Step-by-Step Instructions
  • Layer the apples, caramel, and biscuit topping, then bake to golden perfection for a warm, comforting dessert.
  • Recipe Tips
  • For added texture, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the apples before adding the topping.
  • If your apples are overly juicy, you can add an extra tablespoon of flour to thicken the filling.
  • To make the topping extra crisp, brush it with a little melted butter before baking.
  • What to Serve With This Recipe
  • Ice Cream: Vanilla or caramel ice cream makes the perfect pairing.
  • Whipped Cream: A dollop of whipped cream adds a light, airy touch.
  • Caramel Drizzle: Enhance the cobbler’s flavor with a final drizzle of warm caramel sauce.
  • Frequently Asked Questions
  • Can I use other fruits instead of apples?
  • Yes! Pears or peaches work wonderfully in this recipe, or you can combine them with apples.
  • Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
  • You can prepare the filling and topping separately a day in advance. Assemble and bake just before serving for the best results.
  • What type of caramel sauce should I use?
  • Either store-bought or homemade caramel sauce works great. Just ensure it’s a smooth and pourable consistency.
  • Serving Suggestions
  • Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a swirl of whipped cream. Pair with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a cozy treat.
