Healthy Apple Cobbler

This healthy apple cobbler is full of apple and cinnamon flavors and goes perfect with ice cream for a delicious dessert!
Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time30 minutes
Total Time45 minutes
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Fuji apples, peeled, cored and sliced about ¼-inch thick (3-4 medium apples, see notes)
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour, or sub all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut in small pieces
  • ½ cup skim milk or milk of choice
  • 1-2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Place sliced apples in a medium bowl. Drizzle with honey, then add cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir well to coat the apples.
  • Transfer apples to a 9x13 or 8x12 casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray.
  • In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt until well combined.
  • Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or two knives, until the mixture resembles small peas.
  • Add milk and stir until just combined. The batter will be thick.
  • Add the batter mixture in dollops over the apples in the casserole dish and use your fingers to spread it out a little. (It's OK if it's not covering all of the apples - it will continue to spread out while baking.) Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the dish.
  • Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and set.
  • Remove and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

I generally use Fuji  apples for apple cobbler. Other crisp baking apples can be used as well, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp or Golden Delicious.
I use white whole wheat flour in my baking, but all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour -- or a mix -- would be fine here as well.
This is a great dessert for a crowd, but if you have leftovers, you can transfer them to small ramekins or bowls for easier reheating later. (I usually just reheat them in the microwave.)
