Ingredients You’ll Need

• Apples
• Sugar 
• Golden raisins
• Dried currants
• Ground cinnamon
• Ground nutmeg
• Chopped pecans 
• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Large egg
• Evaporated milk
• Unsalted butter

Step-by-Step Instructions For This Easy Apple Cobbler

1. Prep the Apples

Start by preheating your oven to 325°F and greasing a 13×9-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Peel, core, and slice your apples thin, about ⅛ to ¼ inch. If you’re using tart apples like Granny Smith, you’ll get that perfect balance of sweet and tangy once baked.

Spread the sliced apples in an even layer across the bottom of your prepared baking dish. This gives you that lovely fruit base that softens as it bakes, but still keeps a little bite.

2. Add the Sweet Spice Layer

In a medium bowl, stir together ½ cup sugar, raisins, currants, cinnamon, nutmeg, and half the chopped pecans. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over your apples; it’ll bake down into a lightly caramelized layer that makes the cobbler extra flavorful.

3. Make the Batter

In a separate bowl, combine flour, the remaining 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, evaporated milk, and melted butter. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture, whisking until smooth and lump-free.

Pour the batter evenly over the apple mixture, spreading gently with a spatula if needed. Sprinkle with the remaining pecans for that toasty, golden finish.

4. Bake Until Golden

Loosely cover the cobbler with foil and bake for about 35 minutes. Then uncover it and bake another 5–10 minutes, until the top is golden brown and set. The apples should be soft and bubbling underneath. That’s when you know it’s ready.

Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. The apple filling will thicken slightly as it cools, making it easier to scoop and serve without losing that luscious texture.

How to Store Apple Pecan Cobbler

Let any leftovers cool completely before covering the dish tightly with foil or transferring to an airtight container. It’ll keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or pop the whole dish back in the oven to re-crisp the top.

You can also freeze cooled cobbler for up to 2 months, just wrap it well in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
