Ingredients

- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter cold
- 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
Prepare the Apple Filling:
- Peel, core, and slice the apples. Place the slices in a large bowl.
- Toss the apples with granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until they’re evenly coated.
Make the Cobbler Topping:
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the milk to form a thick, slightly sticky dough.
Assemble the Cobbler:
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket or line it with parchment paper.
- Spoon the apple filling into the prepared basket, spreading it out evenly.
- Dollop the cobbler topping over the apples, using your fingers to gently spread it out.
Air Fry:
- Air fry at 350°F for 15-18 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Serve:
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.
Notes
- Apple Variety: Mix tart apples like Granny Smith with sweet ones like Honeycrisp for a balanced flavor.
- Topping Variations: Add a streusel topping for a classic crumbly texture, or sprinkle nuts like walnuts for added crunch.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with whipped cream, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of caramel sauce for a decadent touch.
- Make-Ahead: Prepare the filling and topping in advance, then assemble and air fry when ready to serve.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving.
