Equipment

Ingredients

Apple Filling

  • 6 apples 6-8 cups peeled and diced in about 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Cobbler Topping

  • 1/2 cup butter melted and cooled
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350º F and grease a 12 inch cast iron skillet or 9 x 13 inch pan
  • Combine the 6 apples, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Place into a 12 inch cast iron skillet. Bake for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the topping.
  • In a mixing bowl whisk together the 1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup sugar, 1 egg, 3 tablespoons sour cream, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until well combined. Add in the 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt mix with a wooden spoon until a soft batter is formed. It will be in between a cake batter and cookie dough.
  • Spoon the topping over the apples and spread out, it's okay if the topping has some gaps where the apples can be seen.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes until the apples are bubbly and soft and the cake topping is golden brown.
  • Allow the cobbler to rest for at least 10 minutes for the filling to thicken.
