How to make Caramel Apple Pecan Cobbler?
- Step 1. Prepare the apple filling. In a large bowl, stir together 9 sliced apples, ⅓ cup brown sugar, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp cornstarch, 2 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and ¼ tsp ground nutmeg until combined. Then, stir in 1 cup chopped pecans. Set aside.
- Step 2. Prepare the caramel sauce. Melt ¾ cup butter in a saucepan. Then, add 1 cup of light brown sugar and ¼ cup milk. Stir until combined and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 minutes stirring constantly. Then, remove from the heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Step 3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Pour the caramel sauce over the apple filling. Mix until combined. Transfer the caramel apple filling to a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Step 4. Prepare the crumbly topping. In another mixing bowl, mix together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, ⅔ cup brown sugar, ⅔ cup granulated sugar, 3 tsp baking powder, and 1 tsp salt. Add 1 cup butter and mix using a pastry blender. The mixture should be crumbly. Then, add ⅔ cup of boiling water. Mix until combined. Transfer this crumbly topping to the baking dish. Spread it evenly over the caramel apple filling.
- Step 5. Prepare the additional cinnamon topping. In a bowl, mix together 3 tbsp granulated sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Then, sprinkle over the crumbly topping. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
Can you freeze apple cobbler?
Yes, you can freeze leftover apple cobbler, but I don’t like it because the crumbly topping becomes a little soggy after freezing. You can store easy apple cobbler in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Recipe tips;
- You can use walnuts instead of pecans.
- Reserve some caramel sauce for later. You can drizzle reserved caramel sauce over this easy apple cobbler when serving.
