In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk and egg until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
3. Assemble the Cobbler:
Drop spoonfuls of the biscuit dough over the apple filling, covering as much of the surface as possible. It’s okay if some of the apple filling is still visible.
Brush the biscuit topping with the extra tablespoon of milk and sprinkle with a bit of sugar if desired for extra sweetness and a golden crust.
4. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly. A toothpick inserted into the biscuit topping should come out clean.
5. Cool and Serve:
Allow the cobbler to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set a bit.
Tips:
Apple Variety: For the best texture, use a mix of tart and sweet apples. Granny Smith adds tartness and structure, while Honeycrisp or Fuji add sweetness.
Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the apple filling and biscuit topping ahead of time, then assemble and bake when ready to serve.
This Old-Fashioned Apple Cobbler is a warm, comforting dessert that brings together the sweetness of apples with the perfect biscuit topping. It’s a crowd-pleaser that’s sure to be a hit with family and friends!
