Ingredients
- Apple- The juicy tangy apples work best for this recipe. The firm and crisp apple are recommended for pie or cobbler. I have used locally available red apples. You may use any local good quality apples.
- Whole Wheat flour- I love the brown crispy crust that I get from baked whole wheat flour. Trust me this crust won't be the same in APF. If you are using APF, the results may vary in the crispy texture of the cobbler.
- Corn starch or corn flour
- Coffee powder- I loved the amazing aroma and flavor of the coffee. I have used Nescafe's instant coffee powder. You may use vanilla essence or cocoa powder too.
- Desi Ghee- Baking doesn't come naturally to me. Using ghee in baking sounded funny to my husband but the good results were loud enough. I have been using a mix of ghee and butter or olive oil in baking and we love it.
- Butter- Room temperature salted butter works well. If you are using unsalted butter, then add a little salt to balance the flavors.
- Sugar
- Spices- Freshly grounded Cardamom and Cinnamon powder are used. You may add any other spice as well.
- Milk- I have used Single toned dairy milk. You may use full-fat milk for a more creamy batter. For making this cobbler vegan, you may use coconut or almond milk. The flavor of the cobbler would change due to that.
- Baking soda
- Lemon juice
- Walnut- I love walnuts with apple desserts.
- Honey(Optional)- Though I haven't used it, you may drizzle the cobbler with honey for a more sweet and smooth taste.
How To Make Apple Cobbler Without Egg

FAQs
Apple Crisp is made usually with oats and is smooth layered whereas apple cobbler is made with flour, butter, sugar (or biscuits) and uneven crumbs are added. Cobblers are denser than the crisp.
You may add more cornflour, cornstarch or wheat flour to make the cobbler denser.
In general, apple cobbler is made with sliced apples that are layered on top by a batter of flour, eggs, spices and sugar. This cobbler is made without eggs.

Love that the crust turned our very well cooked. I normally use powdered flour mixture(mostly dry) for apple crisp cobbler. I liked yours.
