Ideal for serving warm with whipped cream or ice cream drizzled with caramel sauce, this cobbler is perfect for cozy family gatherings or a sweet treat any time of year.

Ingredients

Apple Filling

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 6 to 8 apples (about 8 cups, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced about 1/2 inch thick)
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Topping

  • 15.25 ounces yellow cake mix (boxed)
  • ½ cup butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking and prepare for baking.
  2. Prep Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/2 inch thick slices. Toss the sliced apples in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning and add a touch of acidity.
  3. Cook Apple Mixture: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced apples and stir to coat them evenly with butter. Then, add brown sugar, white sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, until sugars dissolve and the mixture bubbles gently.
  4. Assemble in Baking Dish: Pour the cooked apple mixture into the prepared greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Make the Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the yellow cake mix with ½ cup melted butter. Stir with a spoon then use your hands to crumble the mixture into a fine, even crumble that will fall nicely over the apples.
  6. Top the Apples: Sprinkle the cake mix topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish to ensure full coverage.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the topping turns golden brown and becomes crisp.
  8. Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious served warm with whipped cream or ice cream drizzled with caramel sauce.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for the best texture that holds up during cooking.
  • If you like a more pronounced spice flavor, feel free to increase cinnamon or nutmeg slightly.
  • Let the cobbler cool for 10 minutes before serving to avoid burning your mouth and to allow the filling to set.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute a gluten-free yellow cake mix and verify all other ingredients are gluten-free.
