Ingredients
- 1 large Honeycrisp or 2 Gala apples (about 12 ounces), peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch pieces (2 generous cups)
- 2 heaping tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Heaping 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch fine salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 small scoops vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- For the filling: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the apples with 2 heaping tablespoons of the sugar, the flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the butter, and toss. Divide the filling between two 6-ounce, 3 1/2-inch ramekins, tent each loosely with foil and bake until the apples are tender and the juice is bubbling, about 35 minutes. Remove the ramekins from the oven, remove the foil, give the apples barely a stir with a fork and press the top into the juices.
- For the topping: Whisk together the flour, the baking powder, salt and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in a small bowl. Quickly stir in the heavy cream, then work the dough with your fingers as if you were working butter into pie dough, to make moist, slightly flattened chunks of dough.
- Top each ramekin with dough, dividing evenly. Sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining sugar, and bake until the topping is browned and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool slightly, top with ice cream and serve.

Reviews
I made apple cobbler for the first time, and my family loved it! I tried this recipe for the first time but noticed that one of my Gala apples was rotting. So, I turned the fruit into applesauce instead of throwing it away. Thankfully, we have Fuji apples and I used one as a substitute. Next, I divided the filling into three small ramekins because one apple is larger than the other. After baking for a while, one of the dishes overflowed. It took a lot of work to get the desired results, but the cobbler was tasty! Next time, I should check for rotten apples and divide the filling evenly.
Making it for the 2nd time. Absolutely delicious and so easy!
This is easy and adaptable. I did find you might want to make a little more biscuit topping to cover the apples, also adding more cream to the mix and adding more filling than the stated amount. I even tried this basic recipe with frozen berries, taking out the butter, cinnamon and nutmeg and it worked out fine. You can easily double the portions too without ruining it. It might take time to decide just how much more filling and biscuit topping you may want to add because I found the stated amounts a little low for the end result. Still I’ve made this several times now and each time was just fine.
I live alone & want to know if I can freeze these after baking & cooling?
Excellent recipe for the filling, but instead of hand making the dough, I use pre-made Pillsbury Sugar Cookie dough mix. Easy for someone who is neither a cook or a baker.
So cute, quick & easy to make. I really enjoyed it

So gooooodddd
The apples and portion was spot on, but the dough wasn’t. I used skim milk and ended up with a batter, but I think I would’ve ended up with a batter no matter what.
So easy and yummy! You could do this with any fruits…pears, peaches, berries or a combination!
