    The best, classic, old fashioned, easy apple cobbler recipe, homemade with simple ingredients. Loaded with spiced cinnamon nutmeg apples and buttery crumble topping.

    This is the best dessert to make if you are in a hurry, just like these Apple Fritters {Only 30 Minutes}! Also, if you are fond of crisps and cobblers, don't miss out on this Apple Cranberry Crisp (Cranberry Crumble).

    Today's dessert is fast to make, so full of flavor and warmth, that you will love. I also love that this topping is different than the classic cake-like or biscuit version. My cobbler topping has a chewy factor that comes from oats. It's soft but not cake-like, the perfect texture!

    How To Make Easy Apple Cobbler From Recipe From Scratch?

    1. Make apple mixture- Mix together apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and mix until combined.
    2. Spread apple mixture- In a rectangular baking dish.
    3. Make topping- Mix together flour, oats, sugar, chopped nuts, eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg until you have a crumbly mixture.
    4. Spread topping- On top of the apples.
    5. Drizzle melted butter- On top of the the crumb mixture.
    6. Bake-Until the topping is golden brown.
    7. Enjoy- Drizzle caramel sauce prior to serving.

    What To Serve With Easy Homemade Apple Cobbler?

    I love to serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top or fresh Homemade Whipped Cream! You can also top it with caramel sauce, butterscotch, or even melted white chocolate. Dulce De Leche is another great option.

    Storage

    Refrigerate– In an sealed container for up to 3 days.

    Freeze– I don't recommend freezing because the cobbler topping will become soggy and "mushy" when thawed and reheated.

    Reheat– In the microwave or oven.

    Variations

    Gluten free apple cobbler– Use gluten free oats and gluten free flour in place of regular oats and flour.

    Cobbler without oats- Simply omit the oats and make more of a cake like topping with flour and the other listed ingredients.

    Healthy cobbler– Use vegan butter and coconut sugar instead of brown sugar for a healthier version. Some people replace sugar with honey or maple syrup.

    Apple pear cobbler- Add a mixture of pear and apples for additional flavor.

    Vary the nuts- Try toasted cashews, almonds, or peanuts.

    Add spices and extracts– Such as all spice, ginger, apple pie spice, vanilla, orange, bourbon, amaretto extracts, lemon or orange zests.

    Add dried fruit– Such as dried cranberries, raisins, or even dried cherries.

    Tips And Techniques

    How do you keep cobbler from getting soggy? Serve it right away! This is the most effective way to keep the dish from becoming soggy. It's perfect when served warm. Also, let it cool at room temperature and don’t cover it with anything because that will make it soggy.

    Why is my crisp/crumble dry? The ingredients were probably not measured properly. Not enough liquid/butter/ fresh fruits were added. Use measuring cups and measuring spoons. Another reason for dry crumble is over-baking. If it’s over-baked, all the moisture evaporates and dries up the dessert.

    Make a thicker cobbler topping- Simply double the ingredients.

    Use quick cooking oats– The oats are optional, but I love the texture they add!

    Should my topping mix be dry and crumbly? Yes, do not add any liquid. The topping should be dry and crumbly when mixed correctly.

    Use unsalted butter- Because it prevents the dish from becoming too salty.

    Use melted butter– This helps to create the correct texture for the crumble!

    Use a variety of apples- Because this provides the best flavor!

      Can I use store bought apple pie filling? I have some I need to use up and this sounds so good.

        I think it can work. Use the topping I have in the recipe card. However, the apples will be softer since fresh apples have a little crunch to them.
