Apple Cobblers Are Always Present At The Table During The Fall, But This Recipe Calls For Crystallized Ginger Taking This Dessert To The Next Level.

Let's Get Started…

The Ingredients To Gather:

• 3 lbs of a variety of good cooking apples such as Granny Smith, Pippin, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Gravenstein

• 2 Tbsp lemon juice

• 4 Tbsp unsalted butter

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1 Tbsp flour

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Crust ingredients:

• 2 cups all purpose flour

• 1/4 cup sugar

• 2 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter

• 1 cup buttermilk

• 1 Tbsp finely chopped crystallized ginger

• 1 teaspoon lemon zest or orange zest

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

1. Peel, quarter, and core the apples. Cut them into 1/4 to 1/2 inch chunks.

2. Melt the butter. Add the chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Partially cover the pot and cook until the apples are just tender, about 10 minutes.

3. Stir in the vanilla, and toss to coat with a tablespoon of flour.

4. Transfer the apple cobbler filling to a 10-inch pie dish.

5. Preheat the oven to 425°F.

6. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

7. Add the cubed butter and toss to coat with the flour mixture.

8. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour mixture until the largest piece of butter is no bigger than a pea.

9. Stir in the candied ginger and zest.

10. Use a fork to stir the flour and buttermilk together until the flour is all moistened.

11. Crumble topping over apples: Crumble the cobbler dough over the top of the apples in the baking dish.

12. Bake for 10 minutes at 425°F until the top is beginning to brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Then lower the temperature to 350°F and bake for 30 more minutes until the topping is cooked through and the filling is bubbly.

Finished!

This easy dessert is great after a roast pork dinner. It's also great as breakfast or brunch. Try this recipe using a variety of golden apples and notice how subtly the taste of the cobbler changes accordingly.

Enjoy!
