Ingredients

For the Filling

  • 3 lb apples peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp apple pie spice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup red wine

For the Topping

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup plus 3 tbsp granulated sugar divided
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon divided
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted cold butter cubed
  • 1/4 cup hot water

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x13-in or large round baking pan.

For the Filling

  • Add sliced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, water, and wine in a large bowl. Toss to combine. Transfer apples to prepared baking pan and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes.
  • While the apples are cooking, prepare the topping.

For the Topping

  • Combine flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine.
  • Add cold butter and pulse until sand-like texture. Add hot water until a dough forms. The mixture should be the consistency of drop biscuits. Add 1 -2 tablespoons at a time if your dough is too dry.
  • Once apples have cooked, use a large scoop or a spoon to drop the dough over the apples. Combine the remaining sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the dough. Bake uncovered for 30-40 minutes.

Notes

Steam= condensation. Condensation=soggy cobbler. To prevent this, I recommend cutting the cobbler into individual serving sizes and allowing them to cool uncovered on the countertop. Wait until you can hover your hand over them and not feel any radiant heat.
You can cover the slices with aluminum foil on small plates, store them in tupperware containers or place them all back into the ceramic baking dish that you made them in. Place the cobbler in the fridge, where it will keep for up to 5 days.
