Ingredients

• 2 medium Hatch chiles (roasted, peeled, and diced)
• 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar (lightly packed)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (freshly grated, if possible)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0 Ice cream or whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Prepare the apples by peeling, coring, and slicing them into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the diced Hatch chiles, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch to the bowl with the apples. Toss everything together until the apple and chile mixture is evenly coated.

Step 4

Transfer the apple and chile mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 5

In another mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 7

Drop spoonfuls of the batter evenly over the apple and chile mixture in the baking dish. It’s okay if some filling peeks through.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
