Ingredients

Filling

1 tbsp very soft unsalted butter
2 lbs apples (4 large apples or 6-8 medium/small apples)
1 tbsp lemon juice
¼ cup light or dark brown sugar, lightly packed
¼ cup pure maple syrup
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cloves
¼ tsp ground allspice
⅛ tsp ground nutmeg

Topping

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
⅓ cup light or dark brown sugar, lightly packed
1 large egg
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour, fluffed, spooned and leveled
¾ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp coarse Kosher salt (if using table salt, use half the amount
1 tbsp granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F, and position a rack in the center of the oven. Grease your pie pan with the (1 tbsp) softened butter.
Peel and core the apples, then chop them into 1/2 inch pieces.
To the buttered pie pan, add the chopped apples, and the rest of the filling ingredients. Stir until well combined.
To make the topping, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla in a bowl, until smooth. Add the flour, baking powder and salt, and stir into a soft dough.
Use a spoon, or a small cookie scoop with a release lever, to scoop tablespoon-sized dollops of dough on top of the apples. Sprinkle with the granulated sugar.
Bake the cobbler for about 40-45 minutes, until the apple filling is hot and bubbling, and the topping is baked through and golden brown.
Let cool for 15 minutes, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Cobbler is best eaten the day it's made, but you can store leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat portions in the microwave at 50% power.

For a larger cobbler, double the filling and topping ingredients, and bake in a 9x13 baking dish.
