A delightful twist on a classic dessert, this cobbler combines the warmth of cinnamon with the crunch of walnuts and the sweetness of baked apples.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease an 8-inch baking dish.
Greasing the dish ensures the cobbler doesn't stick and makes serving easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped apples, cinnamon, walnuts, and half of the sugar. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
Use a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor.
Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Press the apples down slightly to create an even layer.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and remaining sugar.
Sifting the flour can help prevent lumps in the batter.
Add the egg, milk, and melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.
Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the batter.
Pour the batter over the apple mixture in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Gently spread the batter to cover the apples completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
Check the cobbler halfway through and rotate the dish for even baking.
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon on top enhances the presentation and flavor.
