Golden apple and walnut cobbler is a delightful dessert that combines the sweet and tangy flavors of apples with the rich, nutty taste of walnuts. This easy-to-make recipe is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re celebrating a special event or simply craving a comforting treat.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples. Aim for even slices to ensure they cook uniformly.
In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften – about 5-7 minutes. Sprinkle the cardamom over the apples and stir to combine. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the apples are tender and thoroughly coated with the cardamom-flavored butter. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of self-raising flour and 1/3 cup of coarsely chopped walnuts. Add the 1 teaspoon of light sour cream and mix until it forms a crumbly texture. The dough should hold together when pinched but still be fairly dry and crumbly.
Transfer the cooked apples to a greased baking dish, spreading them out evenly. Sprinkle the flour and walnut mixture over the top of the apples. Try to cover the apple filling as evenly as possible with the cobbler topping.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.
Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose firm and slightly tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for the best texture and flavor.
- Toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to the cobbler to enhance their flavor.
- For a more complex flavor profile, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg along with the cardamom.
- Make sure your butter is cold when cutting it into the flour to create a flaky crust.
- If you don't have self-raising flour, you can make your own by adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of salt per cup of all-purpose flour.
This golden apple and walnut cobbler is sure to become a favorite in your household. The warm, spiced apples and crunchy walnuts topped with a buttery crust create a wonderful harmony of flavors and textures. Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special touch.
