Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Transfer the apple mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add the buttermilk, egg, and cold butter. Mix until combined but do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the apple filling, covering as much of the filling as possible.
- Sprinkle the topping with additional sugar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
For a cheater version of buttermilk, mix 1/2 cup regular milk with 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes. If you prefer to cook the apples first, sauté them with the sugars and spices for about 5 minutes before adding to the baking dish.
