Applesauce Cobbler
This easy applesauce cobbler is warm, cinnamon-spiced, and comes together quickly, perfect for cozy nights or a simple last-minute dessert.
Ingredients
- 75 g Unsalted Butter
- 80 g Self-Raising Flour
- 130 g Sugar
- 165 ml Milk
- 450 g Applesauce
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, milk, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon with a hand mixer until smooth and well combined.
- Add the unsalted butter to a 19x26 cm (7.5x10 inch) pan and melt it in a preheated oven at 175°C (347°F) or 155°C (311°F) for fan-assisted.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter and do not mix.
- Pour a few spoons of applesauce all over the batter and do not mix.
- Sprinkle ½ teaspoon cinnamon over the applesauce.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 175°C (347°F) or 155°C (311°F) for fan-assisted, for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is cooked through.
- Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream!
Notes
Room Temperature Ingredients: Use room-temperature milk for smoother mixing with the flour and sugar. Cold milk can make the batter a bit lumpy.
Butter Quality Matters: High-quality unsalted butter adds rich flavor without overpowering the cobbler.
Avoid Overmixing: Mix the batter just until smooth, overmixing can make it dense instead of light and tender.
Batter Consistency: The batter should be pourable but not too thin. If it’s too thick, add a bit more milk to reach a smooth consistency, which helps the cobbler bake evenly.
Do Not Stir After Pouring: Once you pour in the batter, don’t mix it with the butter or applesauce. This lets the batter rise and form a tender, cakey topping while soaking in the apple flavor.
Check for Doneness: Start checking at 40 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean, and the top should be golden brown. If it’s not quite there, add 5-10 more minutes.
Allow Cooling Time: Let the cobbler cool slightly so it sets and is easier to serve.
Serve with Toppings: This cobbler is perfect with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel for an extra treat!
Storage: Store applesauce cobbler in an airtight container in the fridge.
