Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

  3. In a large bowl, use a pastry blender or fork to combine flour, sugar, butter, and cinnamon until the mixture becomes crumbly. Set aside 3/4 cup of this mixture for later use as a topping.

  4. Sprinkle a light layer of the flour mixture into the greased baking dish.

  5. Place a layer of apples on top of the flour mixture.

  6. Alternate layers of flour mixture and apples, ending with a layer of apples.

  7. Sprinkle the reserved 3/4 cup flour mixture on top of the final apple layer.

  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is lightly browned.

  9. Allow the cobbler to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

  10. If the topping starts to brown before the apples are tender, loosely cover the dish with aluminum foil.

  11. Optionally, you can use fresh peaches instead of apples.
