Apple Cobbler

Apple picking season is winding down around here, but I am still making apple desserts.  This Apple Cobbler is a great way to get apple pie taste without going to all the trouble of making a pastry crust!

The recipe is just a whole bunch of apples tossed with a little sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg and topped off with a fluffy biscuit topping.  I like to use lots of apples in my cobblers, so that the biscuit topping doesn’t overwhelm the fruit.

For pies I like to use crisp apples like Granny Smith so the pie holds its shape.  But I like my cobblers juicy, so I used softer Cortland and Gala apples for this dish.  Topping the cobbler off with a sprinkling of sparkling sugar adds a little crunch, and the sparkle makes the dessert seem more special with no extra effort.

  1. I am a big fan of Apple Pie – but it’s so much work! This is pretty much the same flavor palate but a lot simpler to make — but just as tasty 🙂 Thanks for the recipe.
