Delicious Apple Cobbler
A comforting apple cobbler featuring tender sliced apples wrapped in flaky dough, seasoned with cinnamon and apple pie spice. Perfect for family gatherings or cozy desserts, it offers a delightful combination of sweet, spiced flavors with a warm, homemade appeal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- To form the dough, mix together flour, Crisco, and milk.
- Spread the dough out on a floured surface and roll it out.
- Sprinkle the dough with sliced apples, cinnamon to taste, and apple pie spice.
- Roll the dough with apples inside to form a jelly roll effect.
- Slice the rolled dough and lay the slices sideways in a 9 x 13-inch pan.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flakier crust, consider using butter instead of Crisco, or a combination of both. If you prefer a sweeter apple filling, try adding a tablespoon of brown sugar or a dash of vanilla extract. For added texture, you can sprinkle some oats on top of the apples before rolling. Make sure to use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Spiced Iced Coffee for a cozy dessert experience. For additional texture, sprinkle some chopped nuts on top just before serving. This dish also makes a lovely addition to brunch alongside a fresh Northern Michigan Salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover apple cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or warm the entire dish in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of apples for this recipe?
Absolutely! Using a mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, will enhance the flavor of the cobbler. Experimenting with different varieties can result in a more complex and delicious filling.
How do I prevent the bottom of the cobbler from becoming soggy?
To prevent a soggy bottom, ensure that you slice the apples thinly and allow them to drain slightly before using. You can also sprinkle a little flour or cornstarch over the apples to help absorb excess moisture during baking.
Can I make this cobbler ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the apple filling and dough separately in advance. Assemble and bake just before serving for the best texture. Alternatively, you can bake it a day ahead and reheat it gently in the oven before serving.
