This Easy Apple Cobbler is one of my FAVORITE fall desserts. It’s made with fresh apples or canned apple pie filling, and a few basic pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter cubes

for the canned Apple Filling Option

  • 1 can apple pie filling cherry, peach, blueberry

for the homemade Apple Filling Option

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 3-4 medium apples peeled, cored, and diced into chunks ¼ inch thick
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 Tbsp + 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a 9x13 (preferably glass) baking dish. Do this by placing it in the oven while it preheats.
  • Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in milk and vanilla and stir to combine.
  • Pour the batter mixture into the baking dish over the butter. Do not mix with butter. Spoon in apples or your fruit of choice in random spots.
  • Bake for 45 minutes. The crust will rise around apples.
  • Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired. Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Homemade Apple Filling

  • In a medium size pan, melt butter, add apples, spices, brown sugar, and 3 Tablespoons of water. Cook over medium-high heat, for 4-6 minutes or until apples are very slightly softened.
  • In a small dish combine cornstarch and 2 Tablespoons water. Add to pan while stirring and continue to cook until apples are tender, and filling is thickened, about 4-5 minutes. Cool.
