Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel, core, and slice the apples, then cut each slice in half.
- In a bowl, combine the apple slices, caramel ice cream topping, and flour. Mix well and spoon into a pie pan.
- Peel apart each biscuit into two thinner biscuits and place them on top of the apple mixture.
- Drizzle melted margarine over the biscuits.
- In a small bowl, combine sugar and shredded coconut.
- Sprinkle the coconut mixture evenly over the biscuits.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using a mix of sweet and tart apples, or try substituting with pears for a different twist. If you don't have buttermilk biscuits, you can use any pre-made biscuit dough. To enhance the coconut flavor, toast the shredded coconut before sprinkling it on top. Ensure the apples are well-coated in caramel for a rich taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top for a delightful contrast. This Coconut Apple Cobbler pairs beautifully with a side of Lemon Cream Dip With Fresh Fruit for a refreshing touch. Consider serving it alongside a light salad for a balanced meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the cobbler in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave individual portions for about 30 seconds, but the biscuits may lose their crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen apples instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen apples, but be sure to thaw and drain any excess moisture before mixing with the caramel sauce. This will prevent the filling from becoming too watery during baking.
What can I substitute for margarine?
If you prefer not to use margarine, you can substitute with melted butter or coconut oil for a richer flavor. Both options will work well in drizzling over the biscuits and will enhance the overall taste of the cobbler.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the apple filling and assemble the cobbler a few hours in advance. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to bake. Just allow for a few extra minutes of baking time if the cobbler is chilled.
