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 brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
Serve warm. If desired, add whipped cream or vanilla ice cream over the top.
Notes
We are cobbler-crazed, but we can’t help it – there are just so many ways to enjoy it!
In the early summer months, make one with blueberries or blackberries, when those berries are the freshest.
For the 4th of July, you can make a strawberry blueberry variety, for a bit of patriotic flair.
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.
Pink Lady: crisp and tangy, with a balance of tart and sweet.
Honey Crisp: crisp and sweet, with a hint of tart flavor.
Jazz: tangy and sweet, with a crunch.
Fuji: crisp, and super-sweet.
Recipe Variations:
Try different apple varieties: Switch up the flavor by using a mix of apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith. Each variety brings a unique balance of sweetness and tartness, making this apple cobbler with Bisquick even more interesting.
Add warm spices for extra depth: Along with cinnamon and nutmeg, consider adding a pinch of cloves or ginger to enhance the cozy fall flavors. This will make your apple cobbler made with Bisquick even more inviting on cool days.
Make it a mixed fruit cobbler: Combine apples with pears, cranberries, or blackberries for added texture and color. This twist works beautifully and brings a fresh spin to your favorite Bisquick apple cobbler recipe.
Add crunchy toppings: Before baking, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts over the batter. This simple step adds a nice crunch and pairs perfectly with the tender fruit underneath.
Storing Instructions:
You can freeze the cobbler for up to 3 months.
To reheat, first, let it thaw in the refrigerator. Then, bake in a 350º F preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until it's heated through.
Store cooled cobbler covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To enjoy again, reheat individual servings in the microwave or warm larger portions in the oven until heated through.
Make Ahead Instructions:
Prepare and bake the cobbler as directed, then let it cool completely. Cover and refrigerate. When ready to serve, warm it in a 350º F oven until heated through for that fresh-from-the-oven taste.
