Serves: 9 servings
Ingredients
  • 6 cups apple slices (630g/1.4lb slices, about 3 large to 6 small apples, peeled, cored, and sliced ⅛ to ¼-inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon + ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon or apple pie spice, divided
  • ½ cup dairy-free buttery sticks (I used Country Crock)
  • ½ cup + ¼ cup sugar, divided
  • ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar or white vinegar
  • Scant ½ cup unsweetened dairy-free milk alternative
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons water, as needed
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F, and lightly grease an 8-inch square or 9-inch round baking dish.
  2. Add the apples, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon to your prepared pan and stir to evenly coat the apples. Press the apples into an even layer, as best you can.
  3. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter alternative and ½ cup sugar with a hand mixer.
  4. Put the vinegar in a glass measuring cup, and add enough milk beverage to make ½ cup.
  5. Add the flour, milk-vinegar mixture, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to your mixing bowl, and beat until smooth. The batter will be thick and creamy.
  6. Spoon the batter over the apples in your baking dish. Use a spatula to spread the batter into an even layer and to the edges of the dish.
  7. Evenly sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup sugar over the batter. Evenly sprinkle the remaining ¼ teaspoon cinnamon or spice over the batter. Using a small spoon or a mister, lightly drizzle or spray water to dampen the sugar. You should only need a tablespoon or so of water.
  8. Bake the cobbler for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the surface is golden and crispy and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake topping comes out clean.
  9. Remove the cobbler from the oven and place it on a rack to cool and set for about 30 minutes. The topping will settle.
  10. Serve warm. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.
Notes
Bake Ahead: You can reheat the cobbler in a 300°F oven for 10 to 20 minutes.
