The method

Step by step

1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease an 20cm (8-inch) square baking dish.
About 2 min
2
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and the apple juice designated for the slurry until no lumps remain. Set aside.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Making the slurry first allows the cornstarch to fully dissolve, preventing lumps in your filling.
3
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced apples, the apple juice for the filling, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
About 2 min
4
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples just begin to soften.
About 7 min
Cook’s note: Don't overcook the apples at this stage; they will continue to cook in the oven.
5
Give the cornstarch slurry a quick re-whisk, then pour it into the simmering apple mixture.
About 1 min
6
Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes until the filling thickens and becomes glossy.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Constant stirring is key here to prevent the bottom from scorching as it thickens.
7
Pour the thickened apple filling into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
About 1 min
8
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the topping.
About 1 min
9
Pour the vegetable oil and cold water over the dry ingredients.
About 1 min
10
Use a fork to mix just until a shaggy, crumbly dough forms. Do not overmix.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Overmixing will develop the gluten and make the topping tough instead of tender.
11
Drop spoonfuls of the topping dough evenly over the hot apple filling, leaving some space between them.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: The gaps allow steam to escape and ensure the topping cooks through properly.
12
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
About 25 min
13
Carefully remove the cobbler from the oven and let it rest on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
About 10 min
Cook’s note: Resting allows the filling to set slightly, making it easier to serve.
