Ingredients for Apple Walnut Cobbler

  • Sliced Apples
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (divided use)
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped (divided use)
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • Half And Half
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

How to Make Apple Walnut Cobbler

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking pan.
  2. Arrange the sliced apples evenly in the prepared baking pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of the coarsely chopped walnuts. Mix well.
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar-walnut mixture evenly over the apples.
  5. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  6. In a smaller bowl, whisk together the egg, half-and-half, and melted butter until well combined.
  7. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter evenly over the apple layer.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of coarsely chopped walnuts over the top.
  10. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
