Filling

1 medium apple —
peeled, cored, and diced

2 Tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp all-purpose flour

1⁄8 tsp or a pinch of ground cinnamon

½ tsp lemon juice

Butter to grease the baking dish

Cobbler topping

2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

1½ Tbsp granulated sugar

¼ tsp baking powder

2 Tbsp milk

Cinnamon sugar topping (optional)

½ tsp granulated sugar

1⁄8 tsp or a pinch of ground cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 10-ounce ramekin or other equivalently sized baking dish with butter.

To make the filling, combine the diced apple, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir until the apple pieces are well coated. Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared dish and carefully spread the apples evenly.

To make the cobbler topping, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and milk in a separate bowl until smooth. Carefully pour this mixture over the apple mixture and spread it evenly. Mix the cinnamon and sugar and lightly sprinkle evenly over the cobbler topping.

Place the filled dish on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drippings during baking. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the topping turns a light golden brown. When baking is complete, remove the dish from the rimmed baking sheet and place it on a cooling rack. Let it set for 5 to 10 minutes, then enjoy.
