This traditional apple cobbler recipe is loaded with cinnamon spiced apple filling and topped with a sweet, buttery crumble topping (my favorite part of this yummy apple cinnamon cobbler). So, how can this cobbler be anything but SINsual and tempting?

Eve tempted, and got Adam to give into just an apple. Imagine how much more tempting this is, with all the cinnamon, sugar, flour and butta added.

Easy Recipe For Apple Cobbler

So this is not an apple cobbler using pie filling and it’s not an apple cinnamon cobbler that uses a cake mix, so you might be thinking about moving on to the next recipe when you see “from scratch”. But, STOP! in the name of cobbler, before you Google away.

I promise you, the worst part of making this cobbler is peeling the apples, which you also have to do with a cobbler made with a cake mix.

After you peel your apples, all you need to do is mix your butter, sugar and flour into a crumbly mixture, spoon it over the apples and bake.

Seriously, for a scrumptious dessert like this, that is really no effort at all. There is a huge, yummy, delectable return on your investment with this quick apple cinnamon cobbler from scratch recipe.

Tips On Making The Best Apple Cobbler Recipe

If possible choose fresh apples that are in season for you apple cinnamon cobbler. Fresh, ripe apples will have a strong apple aroma. Unripe apples will be overly hard and to green or yellow. (See below for the best apples to use for cobbler)
Look for firm apples with no bruises or bug holes.
Cut all your apples into into similar sized bite sized pieces. Nobody wants to bite into a big piece of apple that didn’t get cooked all the way.
You can make your apple filling less sweet by using 1/3 or 1/2 cup brown sugar instead of the 2/3’s cup called for in this recipe.
Your cobbler is done when the filling is bubbling all around the edges and the crust/topping is golden brown.

What Apples Are Best For Apple Cobbler

There’s such an assortment of apples to choose from at the grocery store, but which ones rain supreme for cobbler baking? Which apple or apples will rock our taste buds and have them doing the happy dance?

This article from Betty Crocker says, “Baking Apples” rain supreme for baking pies and crisps (I’m putting cobblers in with pies and crisps). A baking apple is one that is firm and holds its structure during baking. In other words, it doesn’t get all mushy while baking.

These baking apples include:

Braeburn Apples
Cortland Apples
Honey Gold Apples
Jonathan Apples
Fuji Apples
Gala Apples
Granny Smith Apples
Haralson Apples
Newtown Pippin Apples

You can use all of one type of apples for your cobbler, or you can take it to the next cobbler level and add a delightful apple-peeling flavor punch by combining several types of apples in your cobbler.

Should I Peel The Apples For Apple Cobbler

I nearly always peel my apples when I apple bake. The skin doesn’t break down enough during baking (not like good ole peach skin) and this can make for a tougher texture. However, feel free to leave the skin on if you like.

Can I Freeze Apple Cobbler

If you only serve this apple cinnamon cobbler to one or two people there are chances there could be some leftovers (it’s so good, there’s also a chance it will be all gone). So, can you freeze it?

Yes, freeze away. I had some leftovers and froze them. They were just as delicious after I pulled them out of the freezer.

According to this post from Taste Better From Scratch, you can freeze an apple cobbler up to 3 months. So, freeze away.
