Apples are one of the best fruits to bake with, so versatile and so inexpensive compared to other fruits. This Apple cobbler is joining the ranks of my favorite apple desserts, right up there with my baked apples, apple crumble, and classic apple pie!
The Best Apple Cobbler
This simple homemade Apple Cobbler Recipe is completely from scratch, and it’s surprisingly simple to make. We start with a juicy fruit base, made of tart apples that have been thinly sliced and tossed in sugar and cinnamon. Then, top everything off with a slightly sweetened, soft, biscuit-like cobbled topping.
Apple Cobbler is best when served warm and even better when topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
How to Make Apple Cobbler
Apple cobbler is easy to make!
- Peel and core your apples and slice them into pieces no thicker than 1/4″
- Stir together brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt then toss your apples in the mixture until they’re well coated. Let them sit and prep your topping
- Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine.
- Pulse in butter until mixture looks like coarse bread crumbs. Stir in heavy cream until you have a thick batter.
- Pour apples into a buttered 11×7 pan, top with cobbler batter, and bake until topping is golden brown.
I love using a food processor to make the topping for my Apple Cobbler. It makes the job quick and easy (I use this same technique when I make my famous scones). However, if you don’t have a food processor handy, you can instead do everything by hand. Just cut your butter into your flour mixture with a pastry cutter instead.

What is the Difference Between a Cobbler and a Crisp?
Cobblers generally have biscuit-esque topping while crisps tend to have crumblier toppings, usually made with oats. Cobbler topping is usually thicker and they have a cobbled appearance, while crisp topping is more scattered and more like a soft granola or crumbly oatmeal cookies.
What Kind of Apples Do You Use for Cobbler?
Crisp, tart apples are the best option for making a traditional Apple Cobbler recipe. Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, and Honeycrisp are all great options. For today’s recipe, I used Golden Delicious Apples.
How Do You Reheat Apple Cobbler?
Reheat your apple cobbler in the oven at 350F for about 15 minutes or until heated through. Or reheat apple cobbler in the microwave for 30-60 seconds. Easy peasy!
Enjoy!
