Instructions for Applesauce Cobbler

  1. Mixing Bowl: In a mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour, sugar, milk, and cinnamon. Use a hand mixer to blend until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Pan: Melt unsalted butter in a 19×26 cm (7.5×10 inch) pan in a preheated oven at 175°C (347°F) or 155°C (311°F) for fan-assisted baking.
  3. Batter and Applesauce: Pour the prepared batter over the melted butter. Spoon some applesauce on top and sprinkle with cinnamon. Do not mix.
  4. Baking: Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cobbler is cooked.
  5. Cooling: Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving. It’s best enjoyed warm, topped with ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for Success

  • Room-Temperature Ingredients: Let the butter and milk reach room temperature before mixing. This ensures a smooth batter and prevents lumps, giving your cobbler a perfect texture.
  • Butter Quality: Use high-quality unsalted butter for the best flavor. It enhances the sweetness and crumb of the cobbler, making it moist and tender.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix the batter just until everything is combined. Overmixing can make the cobbler dense, so keep it light for a fluffy texture.
  • Batter Consistency: The batter should be pourable but not runny. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk to achieve the right consistency for even baking.
  • Do Not Stir: After adding the batter and applesauce, don’t stir. This lets the batter rise and form a cakey topping while absorbing the apple flavor.
  • Check for Doneness: At 40-45 minutes, check if the cobbler is done by inserting a toothpick. It should come out clean, and the top should be golden brown.
  • Cooling Time: Let the cobbler cool for 10-15 minutes. This allows it to be set, making it easier to cut into portions.
  • Serve Warm: For an extra indulgent treat, the cobbler is best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave or oven for a comforting treat the next day.
