Caramel Apple Pecan Cobbler
This Caramel Apple Pecan Cobbler combines tart apples, crunchy pecans, and silky caramel for an irresistible fall dessert recipe that's perfect as a sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, sliced) about 6 medium
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice prevents browning
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg freshly grated if possible
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch for thickening
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute whole wheat pastry flour)
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats for crunchy topping
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar for topping
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed, for topping
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt for topping
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted, cooled
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans toasting optional
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce store-bought or homemade
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice. In a separate bowl, whisk sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cornstarch, then coat apples evenly and transfer to the dish.
- Combine flour, oats, sugars, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; stir in melted butter until you have a crumbly mixture, then fold in pecans.
- Sprinkle the pecan-oat topping evenly over the apple filling, leaving a few gaps for steam to escape.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling; tent with foil if the topping darkens too quickly.
- Let cool 10 minutes, then drizzle caramel sauce over the warm cobbler and serve with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
To make homemade caramel sauce, melt 1/2 cup brown sugar with 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons heavy cream until smooth. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
