Instructions
Make the Homemade Apple Pie Filling
- Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples. Toss them in lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Cook the Filling: In a large saucepan, combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cornstarch, and water. Stir and cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens.
- Add the Apples: Add the sliced apples to the saucepan. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but not mushy.
- Store or Use: If you’re canning the filling, follow proper canning guidelines. Otherwise, use it immediately or refrigerate for up to a week.
Assemble and Bake the Cobbler
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Filling: Pour the homemade apple pie filling into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Make the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk until smooth, then mix in the melted butter.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the batter evenly over the apple pie filling. Don’t worry if the filling isn’t fully covered—the batter will spread as it bakes.
- Bake: Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
- Serve: Let the cobbler cool slightly, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
