Equipment

  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Chefs Knife
  • 1 10" Oven Safe Skillet
  • 1 Heat Proof Rubber Spatula
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

For the Streusel

  • 8 tablespoon Vegan Butter, melted I used Country Crock Plant Butter
  • 1 ½ Cup Rolled Oats
  • ½ Cup King Arthur Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour or your favorite gluten free flour blend
  • ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp Salt

For the Apple Filling

  • 4 Large Apples, peeled, cored and sliced into about ¼ inch thick slices About 1 ¾ Pound of apples, see note
  • ¾ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ Cup Water, divided
  • ½ Cup Canned Coconut Milk See Note
  • ¼ Cup Bourbon See Note
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Allspice
  • 2 tablespoon Cornstarch

Instructions

Make the Topping

  • First, make the streusel: Combine melted vegan butter, oats, gluten-free flour blend, cinnamon and salt in a bowl until well combined. I like to use my hands for this. Set aside.
    8 tablespoon Vegan Butter, melted, 1 ½ Cup Rolled Oats, ½ Cup King Arthur Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour, ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon Salt

Make the Caramel Apple Filling

  • Preheat oven to 375* F
  • Into a 10-inch oven safe skillet, add sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally to help the sugar caramelize evenly, until the sugar turns a caramel color. Remove from heat.
    ¾ Cup Granulated Sugar, ¼ Cup Water, divided
  • Immediately, but carefully pour coconut milk into the pan. It will likely steam and sputter a bit so just let it do its thing until it calms down, then stir.
    ½ Cup Canned Coconut Milk
  • Be sure that your stovetop is off- as alcohol is flammable. Add bourbon, cinnamon, allspice and salt to the caramel and stir to incorporate.
    ¼ Cup Bourbon, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ½ teaspoon Salt, ¼ teaspoon Allspice
  • Combine cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water in a small measuring cup. Pour into the caramel and stir to combine.
    2 tablespoon Cornstarch, ¼ Cup Water, divided
  • Next, add apples to the skillet. Carefully toss the apples in the caramel to coat. Then top the apples evenly with all of the topping.
    4 Large Apples, peeled, cored and sliced into about ¼ inch thick slices
  • Bake on the middle rack in a 375* Oven for 40-45 minutes, turning the skillet halfway through baking. The top will be brown and the caramel will be bubbling around the edges of the pan. Serve warm.
  • To store, scoop the remaining cobber out of the pan and into a container with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Notes

I recommend Honeycrisp, Pink Lady or Granny Smith Apples.
Be sure to use full-fat coconut milk that comes in a can.
Use any bourbon that you like to drink, here. I used Blantons.  
Don't drink alcohol? Add a ¼ cup more coconut milk or ¼ cup apple cider if you have it.
