This recipe is from my mom's collection. I've shared before that she worked in an elementary school while we were growing up and the teachers and staff shared many recipes and this is one more. When the teacher shared the recipe, she wrote that they made this recipe in a first grade class to celebrate Johnny Appleseed's birthday! I don't remember having Apple Cobbler in first grade! Those were some lucky kids!
I do love to make this recipe when apple season arrives, there’s nothing quite like a homemade apple dessert with warm spices. This Easy Apple Cobbler is an old-fashioned cobbler with tender apples, a touch of cinnamon, and a golden brown topping that makes every bite delicious. It’s a simple, no-fuss dessert that brings classic comfort food to the table. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce for a wonderful dessert you’ll want to make all fall long.

Tips for Making the Best Apple Cobbler
Choose the best apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, and Gala apples are all great choices. Granny Smith apples add a tart flavor, while Honeycrisp and Gala apples are sweeter. I personally like Granny Smith because they are tart apples that work well in this recipe!
Cut apples into similar sizes as this helps the fresh apples soften evenly and become tender.
Let it rest before serving, allowing the cobbler to cool slightly helps the apple filling settle before you scoop it into bowls.
Serve it warm and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra-special fall dessert.

Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon Bisquick and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix until apples are coated. Transfer to the prepared 8x8-inch pan and spread evenly.

Stir in 2 tablespoons milk and mix batter until moistened. Drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto the apples. Optional: sprinkle the top with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in to the crust comes out clean. Allow the Apple Cobbler to stand at least 5 minutes before serving.

How to Store Easy Apple Cobbler
Let the cobbler cool before covering it with aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy within 3-4 days for the best quality. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm a larger portion in the oven until heated through. If you prefer the topping a little crispier, reheating in the oven is a good option.
