Pioneer Woman Apple Cobbler Recipe

Ingredients

For the fruit:

  • Apples – 3 lb apples such as honey crisp, Braeburn, fuji, or Cortlandt
  • Brown sugar – 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • All-purpose flour – 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • Maple syrup – 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • Lemon zest – 2 tsp lemon zest
  • Lemon juice – 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Kosher salt – 1/2 tsp kosher salt

For the biscuits:

  • All-purpose flour – 2 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • Light brown sugar – 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • Baking powder – 2 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • Apple pie spice – 2 tsp apple pie spice
  • Kosher salt – 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • Unsalted butter – 10 tbsp unsalted butter cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • Full-fat milk – 1 cup full-fat milk
  • Sugar – 1 tbsp turbinado sugar
  • Salted caramel ice cream, for serving

Instructions

For preparing the fruit:

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Slice the apples into wedges, about 1/2-inch thick, and remove the cores.
  3. Combine the apple slices with sugar, flour, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a spacious bowl.
  4. Give it a good toss, and then set this mixture aside for now.

For creating the biscuits:

  1. Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, and a touch of salt in a separate medium bowl.
  2. Add the butter and work it into the flour blend using either a pastry blender or your fingertips. You’re aiming for pea-sized clumps.
  3. Pour in the milk and gently stir with a fork until everything just comes together.

For assembling and baking:

  1. Pour the apple mixture into a baking dish that’s been prepared.
  2. Using a 2-inch ice cream scoop or two spoons, drop scoops of the biscuit dough onto the surface of the apples.  As the biscuits bake, they’ll spread out a bit.
  3. Sprinkle the top of the biscuits with a dusting of turbinado sugar for that perfect touch.
  4. Bake away until the biscuits turn a lovely golden brown and the filling gets all bubbly and beautifully thickened, which should take around 45 to 55 minutes.

For serving:

  1. Serve this delightful dessert warm.
  2. Add a scoop of salted caramel ice cream to truly take it to the next level.

Tips

  • Choose a variety of apples that hold their shape when baked.
  • Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving to let the flavors meld.
  • Drizzle warm caramel sauce over the cobbler for an extra indulgent touch.

Variations

  • Add a handful of chopped nuts for extra texture.
  • Swap out the apples for other seasonal fruits like peaches or berries.

How to serve the Apple Cobbler

  • Serve the Apple Cobbler warm, ideally with a scoop of salted caramel ice cream.
  • This dessert shines brightest when enjoyed with loved ones, whether it’s a cozy family dinner or a festive gathering. It’s a slice of tradition and a testament to the joys of sharing good food and wonderful moments.
