Apple Cobbler Crumble Recipe

Apple Cobbler Crumble Recipe

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • cup butter, softened
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced

Directions:

  1. Gather all the ingredients and preheat the oven to 350F (175C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, use a pastry blender or fork to combine the flour, sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Mix until the texture becomes crumbly.
  3. Set aside cup of the flour mixture to use later as the topping.
  4. Lightly sprinkle a small layer of the flour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Arrange a layer of apple slices on top.
  5. Continue layering, alternating between the flour mixture and apple slices, ending with a final layer of apples.
  6. Top the final apple layer with the reserved cup of the flour mixture.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is lightly browned.
  8. Allow the cobbler to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Recipe Tips:

  • You can substitute fresh peaches for apples if you prefer.
  • If the topping begins to brown too quickly before the apples become tender, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil.

Delicious! I scaled this down to make it in six ramekins rather than the 9 x 9 pan (half the flour, half the sugar and half the butter, and left everything else the same - which was the perfect amounts). My son ate two of them for dessert tonight, and then asked when I was going to make it again! This was quick and easy, and is going in the recipe box! Thanks!

Not having read closely, I made this with just all-purpose flour, however I decided to try and spice things up a little. I added (approximately for all) 1/4 cup of dark brown sugar, a pinch or so of salt, a dash or two of nutmeg, and doubled the cinnamon; personally, I like a nice, rich burst of flavor to offset the vanilla bean ice cream. Six Gaia apples, cut into 3/4" pieces, left me with the perfect amount of dry ingredients! I baked for about 40 minutes, but felt that another 5 minutes or so would have been the sweet spot. In the future, I think I'll try this with another 1/8th cup of butter to offset for the dark brown sugar I added. This recipe is great for a last-minute desert idea and will definitely be held in my mind for future events!

This was simple and delicious. I baked the apples alone for 30 mins THEN put the crumble on top and baked for 15 more mins. That way is was lightly browned and not too dark. Also, apples were super tender. We are a low sugar family and Splenda in place of the sugar was terrific.

This is pretty good, I found that the biscuit like topping did NOT turn into a topping i could sprinkle there is simply too much butter and it creamed together with the dry ingredients. so i sprinkled sugar and flour in the bottom of my pan and i tossed the apples in cinnamon and a little vanilla. then i spread/smeared the mixture over the top best I could. I also used three more apples of different kinds for a more complex flavor. also my child is allergic to cinnamon so I made a small crumble as well using fresh nutmeg instead of cinnamon and i think i actually liked it a bit more then the cinnamon (but ill never give up my cinnamon YUM!) definitely make this its yummy. I did find it needed a longer cook time (nearly double) to get a nice golden brown crispiness to the top of the crust. i sprinkled with sugar about 15 minutes before pulling out of the oven to give it a little shine and extra crispiness.

I did make some adjustments while creating this delicious dessert that I think may have improved the taste and texture. For starters I kind of messed up in the beginning when I mixed the flour, sugar, butter, and cinnamon. I mixed everything together except the sugar and I had to cut it in afterwards. I also added about a tablespoon of chopped pecans to the dough mixture for a but of crunch. I used an 8oz can of fried apples instead of fresh ones which cut down the prep time (but not the cooking time.) I layered the apples and dough mixture & added a bit of flour as the recipe stated then put it in the oven at 350° for 18minutes. I'm so impatient i had to peek! And the dough still appeared gooey so I raised the oven temp to 400° for another 18 mins. Then I let the cobbler sit in the oven (turned it off) for another 2-3 minutes before I removed it to cool on the stovetop. I think raising the temp gave the crust a more dense flakey texture than if id left it at 350° and the result was delicious! I used a small Pyrex dish to bake it and the end result served 3-4 people. I even added a couple of oats (oatmeal) on the top because id always wanted to make Apple crisp. The and result was delectable! I guess a small mistake or alteration can make all the difference, and in this case it was a wonderful outcome!

Very good. I used 6 small-medium sized McIntosh apples to get 3 layers, used 1/2 cup + 2 or 3 tablespoons white sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar, nutmeg and cloves and an extra 2 Tablespoons butter (unsalted) for the crumble. It could have used a little more of the crumble. I also baked it for 10 to 15 minutes longer to get it to brown.

Very good! Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. I tweaked it a bit. I squeezed lemon juice over cut Gala apples. I used half cup of white and half cup of brown sugar. In addition to cinnamon I added nutmeg and allspice. Mine was not done in 35 mins, needed an additional 20 mins. Family loved it!

This dish is so easy and delicious! We had some apple trees that produced a LOT of apples this year, so I’ve been searching for yummy apple recipes to use them up. I doubled the recipe and put it in a 9x13 glass baking dish and had to cook it for a while longer but other than that the dessert was amazing! I added a few drops of almond extract to the crumble topping to give it a wonderful aroma and a nutty flavor. I was surprised to see that rolled oats weren’t on the recipe list, so I might add them the next time I make this recipe. Definitely a keeper:)

I'm gluten intolerant so I made a couple of changes and it came out wonderful! I substituted the self rising flour for King Arthur's Gluten Free Measure For Measure Flour and the Granny Smith apples for Honeycrisp apples because I had them on hand. I baked it at 350F for 55 mins. The topping wasn't brown so I placed it under the broiler for 2 mins and that really did the trick. I served it with caramel sauce, in a jar, you can purchase from the grocery store. I will make it again!

I added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mix. I also added a crispy topping (like on a sweet potato casserole- brown sugar, melted butter, and flour). Finally I sprinkled some pecan chips on top. OMG. I’ve already had a spoonful but I can’t wait to drop a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream on top!

It a good starter recipe. I make apple pies and cobblers all the time and this one was an easy substitute for a sweet tooth. Cooked on 400 for 40 minutes (20 minutes covered/20 minutes uncovered). I decided to add nutmeg and vanilla to the flour base. I also sprinkled some cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar on the apples. It was great! Gotta make sure to use the correct size pan or double the recipe for next time or it might get overcooked

There was nothing not to like about this! I cut the apples very thinly and added extra cinnamon. It smelled heavenly and was so easy to make! Wonderful!

Made this for desert for my family, smells absolutely amazing right out of the oven. Used a 9x13 and it still came out great, drizzled caramel on top as well. Such an easy recipe.

I'm not sure what type of oven was used initially, but mine is fairly decent. This is too dry and sour to be a cobbler, and too doughy to be a crumble. I baked this mess for over an hour on 375. It was a disgusting mess. Don't waste your lovely autumn apples on this recipe.

This was easy to make and came out really good. The only change we made is that we cooked it for an extra 10 minutes, as we prefer crispy pieces. We topped it with Blue Bell vanilla bean ice cream.

This came out really good. Next time, I will make my apple slices bigger though because by the time the top crumble browned, the very thinly sliced apples underneath were a little more cooked than I'd like.

I went strictly by the recipe with one exception: I increased the temperature to 425 degrees F for an additional 10 minutes.

Probably the worst apple cobbler I’ve ever tried to make. This was for a celebration of life for a family member and this hot mess ended up in the trash. Would never try this recipe. Wasted my time, money and home grown fruit.

This recipe was easy and delicious. The top bakes golden and has some firmness/crunch to it which I like as most of the inside and bottom are naturally soft. It was nice to find a tasty cobbler recipe with ingredients that you are likely to have on hand. I made this using fresh peaches. I would recommend it to a friend!
