Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 6 cups sliced apples
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup salted caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash and peel the apples, then slice them into uniform 1/4-inch thick pieces. Place the apple slices in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture over the apple slices and gently toss to coat the apples evenly.
- Transfer the seasoned apple slices to the prepared baking dish, spreading them in an even layer.
- In another bowl, mix rolled oats with melted butter until the oats are completely coated and crumbly.
- Sprinkle the buttered oat mixture evenly over the top of the apple layer.
- Drizzle 3/4 cup of salted caramel sauce over the entire surface of the cobbler, ensuring even distribution.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top before serving.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
Tips
- Apple Selection Matters: Choose firm, slightly tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor balance.
- Even Slicing: Cut apple slices uniformly to ensure consistent cooking and a beautiful presentation.
- Don't Skip the Spices: The cinnamon and nutmeg are crucial for developing deep, warm flavor profiles.
- Caramel Technique: Use high-quality salted caramel sauce and drizzle generously for maximum indulgence.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
- Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare this cobbler up to a day in advance and reheat before serving.
- Storage: Cover leftovers and refrigerate for up to 3 days, reheating gently before enjoying.
