It’s bright and early Monday morning and we are officially celebrating.

Because oh my heavens, fall has FINALLY arrived here in central North Carolina.

So, today calls for a fall-style celebration in the form of this vegan apple cobbler.

Now, this is not a super duper over-the-top sweet kind of cobbler. It’s perfectly lightly sweet. Making it an excellent base for topping with a scoop (or two!) of your favorite vanilla ice cream.

Or, I would not discourage you from eating the leftovers for breakfast with either some dairy free yogurt or whipped coconut cream. So. Good.

There’s no pre-cooking of the apples required, which is just the absolute best in my book.

You slice em’ up, toss with a few other ingredients and plop in the baking dish.

The biscuit topping gets dropped over the top and then off it goes to bake in the oven. Nice and simple.

Tips & Tricks For This Vegan Apple Cobbler

  1. If you have never used coconut oil in biscuits before, don’t be scared! Solid state coconut oil is cut into the flour mixture just like you would with regular ol’ butter. The end result? So nice and tender.
  2. Now, let’s talk about the coconut milk. Start with the ½ cup and only add extra if needed (i.e. the dough is too dry and won’t come together). Sometimes I need to add extra, sometimes I don’t.
  3. If your coconut milk is separated in the can, stir it together before using.
  4. Light brown sugar can be substituted for the coconut sugar.
  5. Use any sweet and crisp apple that you like. Such as golden delicious, honeycrisp or braeburn.

This simple vegan apple cobbler is a must make for fall! With sweet spiced apples and a coconut oil biscuit topping, it’s especially delicious when served with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream. Dairy free and vegan.

Ingredients

For the apples:

  • 2 pounds sweet & crisp apples, peeled, cored and sliced ¼ inch thick*
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

For the biscuits:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup white whole wheat flour
  • ¼ cup coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup solid state coconut oil
  • ½ cup canned full-fat coconut milk (plus extra as needed)
  • sparkling or turbinado sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
  • whipped coconut cream or vegan ice cream of choice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 2-quart baking dish with olive oil spray (or nonstick) and set aside.

For the apples:

  1. In a large bowl, toss together the apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, vanilla and lemon juice until combined.
  2. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Set aside.

For the biscuits:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the two kinds of flour, the sugar, baking powder and salt. Add in the coconut oil and use a pastry cutter to cut the oil into the flour. Continue until it resembles even-sized crumbs.
  2. Add in the coconut milk and mix until the dough comes together (start with the ½ cup and add extra, 1 tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too dry).
  3. Pinch off chunks of the dough and drop evenly over the apple mixture. Sprinkle the top lightly with the sparkling sugar.
  4. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  5. Let stand for about 10 to 15 minutes. Serve topped as desired!

Notes

*You want about 2 pounds of apples for this recipe (or just under 2 pounds). Err on the side of slightly under (and not over!) the 2 pounds when buying the apples for this dish.
