Why You & Your Family Will Love This Cobbler

You’ll love this apple cobbler because it’s super simple to make! Friends & family will love the magic sugary crust! This recipe has been passed down from my great grandmother and works great with apples, peaches, and berries! This isn’t just a good Dutch oven cobbler – it’s the BEST cobbler you’ll ever have!

Ingredients for Apple Cobbler

You’ll likely just need to purchase apples for this one! Everything else is a pantry staple. You’ll need:

  • 4-5 small apples – I used 5 small green apples but you could easily use 3-4 large tart apples
  • Don’t use cans of apple pie filling! Go apple picking and use fresh! The little bit of extra work is worth the flavor bomb!
  • cinnamon
  • granulated sugar
  • brown sugar
  • butter (you’ll need a stick of butter at room temperature)
  • salt
  • all purpose flour
  • baking powder
  • milk
  • cornstarch
  • water

How to make Dutch Oven Apple Cobbler from scratch

I do recommend a cast iron Dutch oven for this one – but you could also use a casserole dish if making in your oven. I love how easy this cobbler is to put together – it takes just about 10 minutes and it’s in the oven.

  • Preheat oven to 375º
  • First – peel and slice up your apples. I used five small green apples but I think you could definitely use more apples – it just means more fruit under the cobbler! If you have one of those whizbangy apple corer/peelers – it would be super quick – but by hand – it was a little tedious (but worth it!).
  • If you’re slicing up your apples ahead of time, squirt then with lemon juice so they don’t brown.
  • Place apples in bottom of your Dutch oven sprayed with cooking spray and sprinkle cinnamon on top of apple slices
  • In a large mixing bowl, add white sugar, brown sugar and butter. With a hand mixer, cream the ingredients together until the sugars are fully incorporated into the butter.
  • Now we’ll work with our dry ingredients: Add salt, flour, baking powder and milk to bowl and mix. Combine flour mixture with butter mixture and you’ll have a spreadable batter (if your batter isn’t spreadable – add a little more milk)
  • Spread the batter evenly over the top of apples
  • In a separate bowl, mix 1/4 cup each of granulated & brown sugar with cornstarch & pinch of salt
  • Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly on top of the batter
  • Heat 1/4 cup water in microwave for 40 seconds. Pour water over ALL of sugar – be sure to cover every grain of sugar! This is where the magic happens!
  • Place Dutch oven uncovered in preheated oven for 45 minutes (or until the cobbler topping is done – test like you do cake – toothpick in the center – if it comes out clean – it’s done – should be golden brown
  • Be sure you have some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on hand!

Tips, Tricks & FAQs

How do you cut apples for cobbler?

For the most part slice them up – but you can also dice them. Just bite sized pieces that are all roughly the same size. Slicing them helps them cook more quickly.

Should you cover apple crisp when baking?

No – it’s not necessary. Especially with this recipe, you want the top to get crispy and that needs an open top.

Does Apple Cobbler need to be refrigerated?

Yes – I refrigerate it after baking. You can easily reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds so it’s warm when you eat leftovers. With the fruit – I wouldn’t leave it sit out.

Can I freeze Apple Cobbler?

Yup. I have a difficult time imagining there will be leftovers – but if there are – and you want to freeze them – go for it! You’ll have an easy quick dessert another night. Store leftovers in a glass, air-tight container. I started using these instead of plastic rubbermaid/tupperware and really love them. They always clean so well! The best way to reheat is to microwave for 30-60 seconds or 2-3 minutes in the air fryer (this will crisp up the cake topping again).

What’s the difference between cobblers and crisps?

Cobblers tend to have a biscuit-like topping – mine is a bit more cake-like and far more delicious! Crisps are more crumbly and usually have oats and a streusel topping.

    Right now it’s still cooking but smells amazing! I will say mine needed a lot longer to cook. Going on 1 hour and 25 mins. I think maybe another 10 mins? But cooking time is always different depending on oven and climate. I can’t wait until it’s done though! My home smells incredible!

      Sorry the time is different – I think too it can depend on the size of dutch oven and the amount of apples – mine was pretty thin. Hope you enjoy!!!
