Apple cobbler is a rustic dish of apples bubbling in their juices beneath a biscuit crust that resembles a cobbled stone pathway. This Apple Cobbler has golden biscuits, tender baked apples, and a maple, caramel sauce. This is an Apple Cobbler you'll want to dive into headfirst. It's the perfect fall dessert for a crowd or just an easy way to use up a buschel of freshly picked apples. See how this apple cobbler ranks with other apple desserts like pies, tarts, and strudels—there's a good chance it'll land near the top!

About Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman
Welcome to The Pioneer Woman! If you’ve been here before, you may notice that things look a little different. I’m usually the one who’s resistant to change, but this is a change I am so excited about. I started this website completely on a whim, and it evolved into something I never could have imagined. Fifteen years later, I can’t believe I’m still here. This brings me to my big announcement! I have been working hard to reimagine this website. Along with a great team of editors, we'll bring you a whole bunch of new content, including recipes, shopping tips, design ideas, and more. Of course, I will be here continually telling stories of my cute husband, and sharing pictures of the dogs, the ranch, and all the things I’m cooking. I can’t wait to see what’s to come. Welcome to my new frontier!
INGREDIENTS:
FOR THE FRUIT:
3 lb. apples, such as honeycrisp, Braeburn, fuji, or Cortlandt
3/4 c. light brown sugar
1/3 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. maple syrup
2 tsp. lemon zest, plus 1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
FOR THE BISCUITS:
2 1/3 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. light brown sugar
2 1/4 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. apple pie spice
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
10 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 c. whole milk
1 tbsp. turbinado sugar
Salted caramel ice cream, for serving
DIRECTIONS:
For the fruit: Preheat the oven to 375˚. Slice the apples into about 1/2-inch thick wedges; discard core. Toss together the apple slices, sugar, flour, maple syrup, lemon zest, juice, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
For the biscuits: Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, apple pie spice, and salt in a separate medium bowl. Add the butter then cut it into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or your fingers, until pea-sized clumps form. Pour the milk into the flour mixture and stir with a fork until just combined.
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top the apple mixture with 1 inch squares of butter. With a 2-inch trigger-handled ice cream scoop or two spoons, scoop portions of the dough and drop it onto the surface of the apples. (The topping will spread as it bakes.) Sprinkle biscuits all over with turbinado sugar.
Bake until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly and thickened, 45 to 55 minutes. Serve warm with salted caramel ice cream.
