- 1 cup (85 grams) old-fashioned whole rolled oats
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Sugar and Sweeteners:
- ¾ cup (150 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 grams) packed light or dark brown sugar
Flour and Dry Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (94 grams) all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Optional Serving Suggestions:

Instructions
- Warm the kitchen oven to 350°F and tenderly coat a 9×13-inch baking vessel with a light layer of grease to prevent sticking.
- Tumble crisp apple slices into a spacious mixing vessel, gently folding in brown sugar, flour, vanilla essence, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a delicate sprinkle of salt until each apple segment glistens with a uniform coating.
- Transfer the aromatic apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring an even distribution across the surface.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crumbly topping.
- Introduce cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients, using a pastry cutter or fork to create a rustic, pebble-like texture.
- Gently incorporate rolled oats into the crumbly mixture, ensuring a harmonious blend of textures.
- Generously cascade the oat-studded topping over the apple filling, creating a delectable blanket of crumbs.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and let it transform for approximately 45 minutes, watching for a golden-brown topping and effervescent fruit juices dancing along the edges.
- Extract the cobbler from the oven and allow it to rest on a cooling rack for a brief 5-minute interlude.
- Serve the cobbler while still warm, optionally adorned with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of salted caramel for an indulgent finale.
Notes
- Select firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best balance of sweetness and texture in this classic dessert.
- Ensure butter is cold when making the crumble topping to create a flaky, crisp texture that provides delightful contrast to soft apples.
- Make ahead and store the cobbler covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for optimal freshness and extend enjoyment.
- Customize the spice blend by adding a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom to enhance the warm, aromatic flavor profile of the dessert.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking blend without compromising taste or texture.
- Elevate the dessert by drizzling salted caramel sauce or adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent finishing touch.
