Apple Cobbler

INGREDIENTS

• 2 fuji apples peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 2 gala apples peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• Juice from 1 small lemon, about 1 tablespoon juice
• 1 teaspoon McNess Champion Madagascar Vanilla Compound
• 1 teaspoon McNess ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Topping:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup whole milk
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons vanilla

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or butter an 8X8 or 9×9 baking dish. Set it aside.

Filling

• In a large bowl, add the sliced fuji apples, gala apples, brown sugar, sugar, flour, juice from 1 lemon, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Toss it all together until combined. Add the filling to your prepared baking dish.

Topping

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add the milk, butter and vanilla; mix until combined. Pour the topping on top of the filling. It’s okay if some of the filling is showing through the topping. Then transfer to the oven to bake for about 40 to 45 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
2. Remove from the oven and serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping.

Individual Cobblers 

This recipe can be adapted to more of a personal-serving size. Feel free to divide the fruit amongst 6 to 8 ramekins and then top it with the batter topping. If doing this in ramekins, you might want to dice the apples, vs. slices since they might not fit. Bake them on a sheet pan for about 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown on top.
