- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

How to Make Amazing Apple Cobbler
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter in a 13x9 inch baking dish. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/2 cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves completely. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup cold shortening (or vegetable shortening). Use a pastry blender or fork to cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 3/4 cup milk, mixing with a fork until the dough just begins to come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth (about 1 minute).
- Roll out the dough into a 12x10 inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a large bowl, combine 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Toss to coat evenly.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log (like a jelly roll).
- Cut the log into 16 slices.
- Arrange the cobbler slices in the prepared baking dish over the melted butter.
- Carefully pour the sugar syrup over the cobbler slices.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
