🍽️ Servings: 8
🕒 Prep Time: 20 min | Bake Time: 35–40 min
Flavor Profile: Sweet, buttery, nutty, warmly spiced
Texture: Tender apples, gooey caramel, crisp pecan topping
Best Served: Warm with vanilla ice cream!
📝 Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 6 cups peeled, sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
For the Cobbler Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup milk
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
Topping Extras:
- ½ cup chopped pecans
- ¼ cup more caramel sauce, for drizzling after baking
🔥 Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C)
Grease a 9×9 or similar-sized baking dish.
2. Make the apple filling
In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Stir in caramel sauce and spread evenly in the baking dish.
3. Mix cobbler batter
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in milk and melted butter until just combined. Spread the batter over the apples (don’t worry if it doesn’t cover everything — it’ll spread as it bakes).
4. Top with pecans
Sprinkle chopped pecans evenly over the batter.
5. Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
6. Finish with caramel
Drizzle more warm caramel sauce on top before serving.
💡 Tips & Notes
- Best apples? Tart varieties like Granny Smith hold up well in baking.
- Short on time? Use canned apple pie filling and pre-made caramel sauce.
- For extra crisp topping: Sprinkle a little brown sugar over the batter before baking.
❄️ Storage
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven.
- Not ideal for freezing due to the topping texture, but you can freeze the filling separately!
