Apple Cobbler!

After going apple picking upstate this weekend, my boyfriend and I were determined to whip up a delicious GF apple cobbler! This recipe is my own recipe as inspired by my Nana, my Mama, and my man's Mama. It isn't all that bad for you and it is absolutely DELICIOUS, if I do say so myself. Here it is:

The Filling:
6-7 cups apples, peeled and thinly sliced (like this. We used a variety of apples that we picked at the orchard)
1/2 cup brown sugar (we used organic)
2 tbsp. all purpose GF flour (I use Better Batter, which is quite amazing - you can get it online or, if you live in NYC, you can get it a G-Free NYC)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. butter or butter substitute (we used Earth Balance, which is sold at Trader Joe's and Fairway)

The Topping:
2 cups all purpose GF flour (Better Batter)
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup gluten free oats (you should be able to find these at any health food store - if you are not a very sensitive celiac then you don't need to worry about getting oats that are certified GF)
1/3 cup melted butter or Earth Balance
3/4 cup skim milk (we used organic from TJ's)
  • Preheat oven to bake at 375
  • Mix all of the filling ingredients except for the lemon juice and Earth Balance
  • Lightly spray a deep baking dish with non-stick baking spray (we used a dish that was approximately 10"x 10" and 3" deep)
  • Put the apple mixture into the baking dish, top with butter/Earth Balance and lemon juice (distribute evenly over the top)
  • Mix all topping ingredients, put on top of apples and distribute evenly
  • Bake for 25 minutes
We topped it with some freshly made whipped cream, which was amazing. Ice cream would also be good, although this cobbler is yummy by itself so you don't need to top it with anything!!

Enjoy!! I'll be enjoying mine for the rest of the week, if it lasts that long. Happy fall!
