Ingredients
Filling
5–6 large apples, sliced
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. of ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp. of melted butter (substitute with vegan butter to make it plant-based friendly)
Cobbler Topping
1/2 cup salted butter, melted (substitute with vegan butter to make it plant-based friendly)
3/4 cup sugar
3 tsp. vanilla
1 cup flour (substitute with Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour – Bob’s Red Mill for a gluten free option)
1 tsp. baking powder
A pinch of salt
Additional fun toppings

Directions for Apple Cobbler
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray the bottom of a 9×13 pan with nonstick baking spray.
Mix apples, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl and pour in the prepared pan. Take the 2 tablespoons of melted butter and pour over top of apples.
Mix the butter, sugar, vanilla, flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl until a cookie-dough-like batter forms.
Place scoops of the mixture over the top of the apples. Sprinkle with a spoon or with your fingers.
Bake for 30-45 minutes. At this point it should be juicy and bubbly around the sides. Your baking times could vary based on your oven. You also want a golden brown color on top.
To get a thick saucy base, let it stand for 20-30 minutes before serving with toppings. Enjoy your apple cobbler!
