This is classic cobbler. I adapted this recipe from the one my Mother-in-law gave me from an old cookbook. The cookbook calls it “Don’t Stir Pudding” because you pour everything into the pan without stirring.

Recipe Notes for the Best Apple Cobbler
- Best Apples for Cobbler: I like to use gala apples, granny smith and honey crisp are also favorites. Any firm apple will work. If you are using a tart apple, like granny smith, increase the brown sugar to 2/3 cup.
- Do I Have to Peel the Apples? Peeling the apples is optional but we like the texture of the cobbler best if the apples are peeled.
- What Size Pan for Apple Cobbler: A basic 9 x 13 glass baking dish is my favorite for baking cobblers. They are also super handy for your favorite casseroles and the one thing I tend to forget at potlucks!
- How to Store and Reheat Cobbler: I do find that this cobbler is best if you eat it the first day. If you have leftovers, cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store at room temperature for 1 day. Refrigerate up to 3 days. Let it come to room temperature or warm it up in the microwave.
- Serving: I love to serve this homemade apple cobbler with a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. It’s so comforting and delicious.
