I’m proud to be partnering with Meijer to bring you this perfect summer recipe.

With fall right around the corner, I am so excited to start cooking up warm and cozy comfort food for you. I love everything about fall food from the creamy soups to the perfectly spiced desserts. But is there anything that says fall more than a warm Apple Cobbler?

My first stop before making this dessert was the incredible produce section at my local Meijer. My family goes through an insane amount of fruit, especially apples, every week. I love that I can always find delicious fresh produce for my kids at Meijer.

When fall rolls around, you can find all the varieties of apples you are looking for at Meijer. They buy from local farmers and you can count on their apples being fresh and perfect for a cobbler or pie. Or if you live at my house, an afternoon snack.

Apple Cobbler Ingredients

I love this recipe because after I get my apples, I almost always have the rest of the ingredients in my pantry and refrigerator. Get the full amounts of ingredients and instructions at the bottom of the post.

  • Apples (see more below)
  • Cinnamon
  • Sugar
  • Butter
  • Flour
  • Baking Powder
  • Salt
  • Milk
  • Vanilla Extract

Picking out Apples

I love taking advantage of the variety of apples at Meijer by using a few different kinds. If you aren’t sure where to start, I would suggest buying a couple and figuring out which kinds you like.

I love Gala and Granny Smith Apples in this recipe. They also happen to be our favorite for snacking. The Gala are just the right amount of sweet, and the Granny Smith bring a nice tartness.

Peeling the Apples

The one step to this recipe that might hold people back from making it is the peeling of the apples. Pick up this apple peeler from Meijer when you get your apples. It peels, cores, and slices your apples for you!

It will make this recipe easier for you. Of course, if you can’t grab one, you can peel it the old fashioned way.

  1. Mix the apples, sugar, and cinnamon together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  2. Melt the butter and pour it into the bottom of a baking dish.
  3. Whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract to make a batter.
  4. Pour the batter over the melted butter without stirring. Then pour the apples on top, again without stirring.

    I just made this today and it was runny in the middle section, not sure why? It tasted really good, just didn’t know what to do about the middle of it. Any suggestions?

    • Lisa Longley says

      I would suggest just baking it a little longer next time. Oven temperatures vary a lot more than we think, so a little extra time should do the trick.

  5. Dawn says

    Could you use gluten free flour and almond milk for this

    • Lisa Longley says

      I haven’t tested this with gluten free flour or almond milk, but if you use a gluten free flour blend that is meant to replace flour one for one, it should work.

  6. Darcy says

    It has been in the oven for 28 min and not close to being done.

    • Lisa Longley says

      Hi Darcy! Without me being there, it’s hard for me to know what happened. I’ve made this several times and feel good about the cooking time.

  7. Andi says

    You never did what to do with the other half of the butter.

    • Lisa Longley says

      I’m not sure what you mean, Andi. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup butter and that is all used in step 3.
