8 cup baking apples Granny Smiths, Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Gala, or Braeburn are ideal.
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp cream

Peel, core, and slice the apples very thinly. Try to get them about ⅛” thick so that they cook down and are soft when the topping is done.
Toss the apples with the lemon juice to coat them.
In a separate small bowl, combine 1/3 cup of brown sugar and 1 tsp. cinnamon together. Make sure the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Then, sprinkle it over the apples and stir them in to cover the apples.
Pour the cream over the top of the apples and stir until it’s evenly distributed over them.
Spread the apple mixture in an even layer at the bottom.

Stir the flour, white sugar, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, salt, and baking powder together.
Create a well in the center and pour in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir together until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed and you have a thin, pourable batter.
Pour the batter evenly over the apples, moving the bowl back and forth to cover all of them. Some of it will settle into the fruit, but that’s fine! Some of the apple slices might stick out of the topping a bit, and that’s also alright.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top of the apple cobbler is a golden delicious brown. Insert a toothpick in the center and make sure it comes out without any batter on it.
Pull the apple cobbler out of the oven. Allow it to cool for a couple of minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream of whipped cream.
