Directions

Make the filling:

  1. 1

    Wash, peel, and core the apples. Slice them into ¼-inch thick slices. Add the sliced apple, brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt to a large bowl. Use your hands to gently combine everything so the apples are well-coated. Let the apples sit at room temperature until they form a syrupy liquid in the bottom of the bowl, about 1 hour.

Make the topping:

  1. 1

    Whisk together the butter, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl. Whisk in the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.

Assemble and bake the cobbler:

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray the inside of a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.

  2. 2

    Pour the filling (including the syrupy liquid at the bottom of the bowl) into the prepared baking dish. Pour the topping onto the apple filling.

  3. 3

    Bake until the top is golden, and a toothpick inserted into the cake portion comes out clean, about 45 to 55 minutes. Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
