Ingredients
  

Apple Mixture
  • 6 medium apples peeled, cored, and sliced (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Jonagold work best)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour helps thicken the juices
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cobbler Topping
  • 1 box yellow or white cake mix 15.25 oz box
  • 1 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts optional (pecans or walnuts work great)
Optional Toppings
  • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream for serving
  • 1 tablespoon caramel sauce drizzled over the top

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Oven mitts

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and vanilla extract until well coated. Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the apple mixture, covering the entire surface.
  4. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Make sure to cover as much as possible to avoid dry spots.
  5. If using, sprinkle chopped nuts over the top for extra crunch.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbly. If the top starts browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  7. Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Notes

Store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or in the microwave for 30 seconds per serving.
