Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 8 medium apples, peeled, cored and cut into bite size pieces (1/4 inch thick)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup water
Batter:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Caramel Sauce
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, room temperature
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease an 8×8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet add all ingredients under apple filling. Stir to combine. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour apple filling into prepared 8×8 pan, reserving some apples to place on top of the batter..
3. In a large bowl, mix together the all ingredients under batter, just until combined. Pour batter over apples. Add reserved apples on top of the batter.
4. Bake 42-48 minutes.
5. To make the caramel sauce, add sugar to a skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once sugar is melted, stand slightly back from skillet and carefully add butter into skillet (caramel can bubble when butter is added). Stir in butter until completely melted.
Once the butter is melted and combined, stir constantly and slowly pour in the heavy cream. Once the heavy cream is added, stop stirring allow to boil for 1 minute. If you want to be precise, the temperature of the caramel should reach 220F.
Remove from heat. Allow to cool before using. Caramel thickens as it sits. If you aren’t using immediately, you can pour the caramel into a glass jar to store. Cover and store for up to 1 month in the refrigerator. Caramel solidifies in the refrigerator. Reheat in the microwave to get it to the desired consistency.
6. Drizzle caramel over apple cobbler and serve with ice cream if desired. Enjoy!
