Ingredients

Butter, for dish

6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup dark brown sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch salt

Pinch ground nutmeg

1/2 lemon, juiced

Ginger Whipped Cream, recipe follows

Topping:

2 tablespoons butter, softened

1/2 cup self-rising flour

1/2 cup sugar

Pinch salt

Pinch ground ginger

1 egg, beaten

Ginger Whipped Cream

1 cup whipping cream, chilled

1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

1/4 cup candy ginger, minced

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Lightly butter a 9 by 9-inch baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the apples, sugars, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, nutmeg and lemon. Add the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  4. Add all the topping ingredients to a medium bowl and combine well with a wooden spoon, to form a batter. Dollop the batter in various spots on top of the apple mixture. The batter will spread as it bakes. Put the cobbler in the oven and bake until the apples are tender and the crust is colored, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve with Ginger Whipped Cream.

Ginger Whipped Cream

  1. Add the cream and sugar to a medium bowl. Using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the cream until stiff peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in the ginger. Cover and chill up to 4 hours before serving.

Doubled the recipe, using 12 apples, and baked in a large glass dish (13 x 9). It cooked for much longer than the recipe suggested as I expected. By the time the apples were soft, I found that there was not enough cobbler for it so I whipped up a streusel topping and then dropped some extra butter dollops on top. The end result was absolutely fantastic. The apple filling, based on the original recipe was wonderful and if I did it again, I would do 1.5-2 times the amount of cobbler batter or use the streusel on top again.
