Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 apples Fuji, pink lady, granny smith, etc.
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour*
- ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 4 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- 3/4 cup apple cider or apple juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Rinse the apples well, then dry them off using a kitchen towel. Use an apple corer or a pairing knife to core out the apples. Slice the apples in half with a sharp knife and place apples in a large casserole dish. There should be a crevasse down the center of each apple due to the core being removed.
- Mix all of the ingredients for the cobbler filling (melted butter, flour, chopped walnuts, pure maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt) in a small bowl.
- Stuff the centers of the apples with the cobbler mixture, and spread it over the tops too if you’d like.
- Pour ⅔ cup of apple cider in the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the apples reach your desired level of doneness. I like an al dente level of doneness, where the apples still hold their structure but have softened nicely.
- Serve immediately with a drizzle with melted butter and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and enjoy!
Notes
*I use Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend.
