As autumn arrives and the leaves begin to change, apple season brings its familiar flavors and comforts. One of the best ways to enjoy this seasonal fruit is through homemade desserts. Today, I'm sharing a recipe for a vegan apple cobbler that's perfect for cool fall evenings.
If you've tried my vegan apple crisp with its crunchy oatmeal topping or my vegan apple cake, you're already familiar with how well apples work in plant-based desserts. This vegan apple cobbler is another great option to add to your fall baking list.
Like the apple crisp and apple cake, this cobbler is an ideal way to use the abundance of apples during fall. It features tender baked apples topped with a soft, biscuit-like crust that's made without dairy or eggs. Whether you follow a vegan diet or are simply looking for a dessert everyone can enjoy, this apple cobbler fits the bill.

👨🍳How To Make Vegan Apple Cobbler
Step 1
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In prepared baking dish, combine the sliced apples, coconut sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and cornstarch.
- Mix until the apples are evenly coated. If you like a juicier filling, add ¼ cup of water or apple juice. Make sure the apples are spread out evenly.
Step 2
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
- Add the cold vegan butter pieces to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
- In a small bowl, mix the non-dairy milk with the apple cider vinegar and let it sit for a minute to curdle slightly (this is your vegan buttermilk).
Step 4
- Pour the vegan buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop spoonfuls of the cobbler topping over the apple filling. It doesn’t need to be perfect - cobblers are meant to have a rustic look.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
What To Serve With Vegan Apple Cobbler
- Vegan vanilla ice cream - A scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream complements the warm cobbler perfectly.
- Coconut whipped cream - A dollop of whipped coconut cream adds a light, creamy touch.
- Caramel sauce - A vegan caramel sauce drizzled over the top enhances the dessert's sweetness.
- Candied pecans - Sprinkle some maple-candied pecans for added crunch and flavor.
- Cinnamon-dusted apple chips - Serve with a side of crispy apple chips for textural contrast and to amplify the apple flavor.
❄️Storage Instructions
Refrigerator
To store your vegan apple cobbler, first allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container and put it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
To reheat, simply scoop out your desired portion and warm it in the microwave or in a preheated oven until heated through.
Freezer
Wrap the cooled cobbler tightly in plastic wrap, then cover it with a layer of aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Alternatively, cut the cobbler into individual portions and store them in freezer-safe containers or resealable bags. The cobbler will maintain its best quality for up to 3 months in the freezer.
When you're ready to eat it, thaw the cobbler overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat in the oven until warmed through and the topping regains some of its crispness.
