Directions of : Brown Sugar Apple Cobbler
Preparing the Apple Filling
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix everything well until the apples are coated.
- Pour the apple mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Dot the top of the apple mixture with the small pieces of butter.
Crafting the Brown Sugar Crumble Topping
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
- Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients.
- Use your fingers, a pastry blender, or a fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Some larger pea-sized pieces of butter are fine.
Baking Your Delicious Cobbler
- Sprinkle the brown sugar crumble topping evenly over the apple filling in the baking dish.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly and tender. If the topping browns too quickly, you can loosely cover it with foil.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set.
