This single serve apple cobbler bakes warm, cinnamon-spiced apples under a soft, cake-like topping. It's made from scratch with one fresh apple in a single ramekin.
Servings: 1 serving
Equipment
Ingredients
For the filling
- 1 medium apple or 2 small apples (approximately 4-ounces) - peeled, cored and diced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- butter - for greasing the ramekin
For the cobbler topping
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons milk
For the cinnamon-sugar topping (optional)
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Make the filling
- In a small bowl, stir together the diced apple, brown sugar, 1 teaspoon flour, ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon, vanilla, and lemon juice until the apple is coated.
- Butter a 10-ounce ramekin, then add the apple filling and spread it into an even layer.
Make the cobbler topping
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons flour, 1½ tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, and milk until smooth. The batter will be thin.
- Pour the batter evenly over the apple. Some will sink down around the fruit as it settles.
Make the cinnamon-sugar topping
- Stir together ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon and ½ teaspoon sugar, then sprinkle over the batter.
- Set the ramekin on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 25 to 28 minutes, until the topping is golden and springs back when lightly pressed.
- Let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Cut the Apple Into Small Pieces: Dice it into roughly ½-inch pieces so it bakes through and turns tender.
Use a 10-Ounce Ramekin: The batter and filling are measured for this size.
Don't Overmix the Batter: Stir just until it's smooth. Overworking the flour can keep the topping from baking up light.
Watch the Bake Time: Start checking at 25 minutes and remove the cobbler from the oven once the top is golden.
If doubling the recipe, use either two 10-ounce ramekins or one 5x5-inch baking dish.
