Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups apple cider
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large saucepan, reduce apple cider over medium-high heat until it becomes a syrupy consistency, about 15-20 minutes. You should have approximately 1 cup of concentrated cider. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of the reduced apple cider until smooth.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy.
- Pour the remaining reduced apple cider into the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer.
- Drop spoonfuls of the doughnut batter over the cider, covering most of the surface but leaving some small gaps.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the batter comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. The cobbler can be served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- • For the most intense apple flavor, use high-quality, fresh apple cider and reduce it slowly to concentrate the taste. • Make sure to whisk your dry ingredients thoroughly to prevent any flour lumps in the batter. • Don't overmix the batter - a few lumps are perfectly okay and will help create a tender texture. • Use a light hand when dropping the batter onto the cider to create rustic, uneven peaks that will crisp up beautifully. • Let the cobbler rest for 10-15 minutes after baking to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set. • For an extra indulgent touch, dust the top with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. • This dessert is best served warm and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days - simply reheat before serving.
