Preheat oven to 350º F. Prepare 9-inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet by greasing with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, stir to combine apples, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and spices. Add the apple cobbler mixture to the prepared dish.
Prepare Topping and Bake
Reuse the medium bowl to stir together the Bisquick baking mix, sugar, and butter until combined. Slowly stir in the milk until just mixed. Don't over mix the batter.
Using a medium cookie scoop or large serving spoon, drop portions of batter evenly over the top of the apple mixture. You'll need about 6 scoops.
Bake the apple cobbler in the oven at 350ºF. for 45-55 minutes, until top is golden and the apple filling is bubbling.
Serve warm. If desired, add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream over the top.
For Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apples, use the full 3/4 cup of sugar. If using a sweet apple variety, like Honey Crisp or Fuji, reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup, unless you like extra sweet baked goods.
When baking apple crisps, cobblers, and pies, we use either Granny Smith or Honey Crisp. Other good apples for baking include:
Granny Smith Apples: crisp and tart, all-purpose apple.
Golden Delicious: mellow flavor balanced flavor, all-purpose apple.
