Directions:1. Make the filling: In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, tossing to coat in butter. Add lemon juice, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt and stir to combine. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the apples start to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. 2. In a small bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and flour. Add to the pot and stir well to combine. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Filling may be made ahead and kept refrigerated for up to 3 days. 3. Lightly grease a 9 by 13 inch pan with butter or non-stick spray, and scoop the filling into the pan. 4. Prepare the cobbler: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt together to combine. Add the butter and toss well until each piece is coated with flour. Cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse meal. 5. Make a well in the centre of the bowl, then add the buttermilk, slightly beaten egg and vanilla. Stir all the ingredients together until well-combined. 6. Drop the batter be spoonfuls all over the cobbler. Some filling should still be visible. Generously sprinkle turbinado sugar over the surface. 7. Bake in a 375ºF oven until topping is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving warm. |
