Ingredients

- Make the dough and roll into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
- Sprinkle cinnamon over the chopped apples, then evenly spread the apples over the dough.
- Roll up the dough like a cinnamon roll, dampen the edges with water, and seal.
- Slice the rolled dough into about 16 slices, each 1/2-inch thick.
- Place the slices in the pan with melted butter.
- Pour the sugar syrup carefully around the rolls.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of white sugar. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Let the apples sit with cinnamon for a few minutes to enhance their flavor before adding them to the dough. This dessert pairs beautifully with Colleen'S Cranberry Bread.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the apple cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for added indulgence. It pairs nicely with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon on top. For a delightful brunch, consider serving it alongside Peanutty Banana Squares. This dish is perfect as a comforting dessert after a hearty meal.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the cooled apple cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm. For a crispier texture, you can reheat it in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes. Serve warm for the best experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of apples?
Yes, you can substitute apples with other fruits like pears or peaches. Just make sure to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit used. Cherries or berries can also work well, but you may need to reduce the water slightly to avoid excess moisture.
What can I use if I don't have shortening?
If you don't have shortening, you can use an equal amount of unsalted butter or coconut oil. Both will provide a similar texture, although butter will add a richer flavor. Just ensure that the butter is softened before mixing it into the dough.
How can I make this recipe gluten-free?
To make gluten-free apple cobbler, substitute the self-rising flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that includes xanthan gum. This will help mimic the texture of regular flour. Ensure that all other ingredients are also gluten-free, especially any packaged items.
