This apple cobbler is a simple, versatile recipe that can be adapted to whatever seasonal fruit and spices you have on hand. In the summer, swap the apples for fresh blackberries, blueberries, peaches, or raspberries. For a gluten-free version, use oat flour in place of the wheat flour. To make it dairy-free, substitute coconut oil for the butter and your favorite nondairy milk in place of the milk. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or try a dollop of whipped cream flavored with a splash of almond extract for an irresistible finish.
Servings: 1 Cobbler
Ingredients
*For the filling*
- 3 medium Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, cut into slices
- 3 medium Golden Delicious apples peeled, cored, cut into slices
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 heaping teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/4 cups freshly milled spelt flour*
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

*If you prefer you can use soft white wheat flour, khorasan (Kamut) flour, or oat flour in place of the spelt flour.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (177ºC).
- Toss the apple slices with the lemon juice. Mix in the sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon until everything is well-combined. Set aside.
- Add the butter to a 9×9-inch baking dish or skillet and place in the preheated oven to melt.
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk and stir until just combined.
- Remove the baking dish or skillet from the oven and spread the melted butter around until the bottom and sides of the baking dish are well-greased.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter without mixing it together. Gently spoon the prepared apple filling evenly on top of the batter.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, until golden brown. Let it cool slightly and then slice and serve warm.
