Equipment

Method
 

For the apple filling:
  1. Preheat the oven to 374º F (190° C). Peel and core the apples. Then slice them and place the slices in a high-walled rectangular baking dish measuring approximately 11 inches x 7 inches (28 cm x 18 cm).
  2. In the same baking dish add the brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, lemon juice, cinnamon and nutmeg powder. Mix with a spoon so that all the ingredients are integrated and add the butter cubes on top. Place in the refrigerator until needed.
For the dough:
  1. In a large bowl, integrate the flour with the sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and mix everything very well with a spoon.
  2. Add in the very cold butter and knead with a pastry blender or with your fingertips until a sandy dough is formed and the butter is in small but still visible pieces. It is important to work quickly so that the butter keeps cold. This step can also be done in a food processor.
  3. Add the cold buttermilk and mix with the same spoon so that the ingredients are integrated but not overmixed. The dough will look a little lumpy and wet but this is the way it should be.
  4. Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, add 8 to 10 spoonfuls of batter into the baking dish on top of the apples, trying to keep the filling showing between each spoonful in a way that the apples are not completely covered. If necessary, you can spread a little of the batter with a spoon to make it look more uniform.
  5. Sprinkle some sugar on top and bake the cobbler at 374º F (190° C) for about 50 minutes until golden brown. Once ready, take the cobbler out of the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Serve while still warm with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
