Step 1:
In a large bowl mix together the sliced apples with the sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, lemon zest, ginger and flour until well coated.
Step 2:
Heat the Gozney Roccbox, to around 375°F to 400°F / 190°C to 200°C. Heat a cast-iron skillet in the oven.
Step 3:
Transfer the apple mixture to the skillet and arrange in an even layer. Place into the Gozney Roccbox and allow to soften and colour.
Step 4:
For the topping, using a whisk mix the flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
Step 5:
Pour the butter, milk and vanilla extract into the mix into a loose batter with a wooden spoon, gently folding the batter until it is fully combined.
Step 6:
Pour the topping over the apples, give it a shake to even the topping.
Step 7:
Place the skillet into the Gozney Roccbox. Cook for 25-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the apple filling is bubbling. The dome's even heat distribution ensures a perfectly baked cobbler.
Step 8:
Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. This dish is best enjoyed warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Rasheed’s Notes:
- The Gozney Roccbox provides a unique baking environment, infusing the cobbler with a slight wood-fired aroma that enhances the overall flavor.
- Keep an eye on the cobbler as it bakes; the cooking time might vary slightly depending on the oven’s temperature.
- Using a cast-iron skillet not only is perfect for the Gozney Roccbox but also adds a nice crust to the bottom of the cobbler.
