Ingredients

THE FILLING, WHISK

¼ cup Apple juice
1 tsp. Ground cinnamon
¾ cup Granulated sugar
½ cup Light brown sugar
2 cups Frozen cranberries, thawed
4 cups Thinly sliced Granny Smith apples (about 4 apples)
1 tbsp. Minced fresh ginger
2 tbsp. Cornstarch
1 tbsp. Fresh lemon juice

½ cup Chopped walnuts
6 tbsp. Cold unsalted butter, cubed
½ tsp. Kosher salt
1 tsp. Baking powder
½ cup Granulated sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°.

The Filling

whisk together apple juice, cornstarch, lemon juice, and ginger in an 8-inch cast-iron skillet until cornstarch dissolves.
Add apples, cranberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon; stir to coat. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to medium and simmer until mixture thickens, 2–3 minutes. Off heat, stir in vanilla.

The Topping

Stir together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add walnuts, zest, and water; stir just until moistened. Drop dough evenly over fruit mixture.

Bake

Cobbler until filling is bubbly and topping is browned, about 25 minutes. Let cobbler cool on a rack 1 hour before serving.
