Equipment
- 9x13-inch baking dish
- Mixing Bowls
- Wooden Spoon
- Oven mitts
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
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the dry cake mix evenly over the apple mixture, covering the entire surface.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cake mix. Make sure to cover as much as possible to avoid dry spots.
- If using, sprinkle chopped nuts over the top for extra crunch.
- 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.
- 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.
