US - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it fully preheat before baking.

Make the Filling

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir until the apples are evenly coated.
  • Lightly grease a 10-ounce ramekin with butter, then spoon the apple mixture into the ramekin, spreading it evenly.

Make the Cobbler Topping

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and milk until the batter is smooth.
  • Pour the batter over the apple mixture in the ramekin, spreading it evenly to cover the apples.

Make the Cinnamon-Sugar Topping

  • Mix ⅛ teaspoon of cinnamon and ½ teaspoon of sugar in a small bowl, then sprinkle it evenly over the topping.
  • Place the ramekin on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any spills.
  • Bake: Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
  • Cool and Serve: Remove the ramekin from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Preheat for Accuracy: Ensure your oven is fully preheated to the correct temperature before baking. Using an oven thermometer can help guarantee consistent results.
  • Enhance the Flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the apple mixture for a warm, unique twist that pairs beautifully with cinnamon.
  • Prepare the Ramekin: Buttering the ramekin prevents sticking and adds a touch of richness. For extra texture, lightly dust it with sugar for a subtle crunch.
  • Use a Baking Sheet: Always place the ramekin on a baking sheet. It makes handling easier and catches any spills, keeping your oven clean.
