Apple Cobbler

Monday, March 31, 2014
Apple Cobbler  is a mix between apple pie and cobbler. Filled with tart granny smith apples, cinnamon, sugar and topped with a thick flaky crust thats a cross between pie crust and a biscuit.

Other Apple recipes we can't get enough of are Apple Crisp, Granny Smith Apple Pie, Apple Coffee Cake, and Apple Dumplings.

It's an apple pie, it's a cobbler, it's an Apple Pie Cobbler.

I spent all weekend trying to decide what to call this bad boy. It's a bit like a thick flaky pie crust top with a little bit of a fluffy biscuit underneath with lots of cinnamony apple goodness.

Colt and the kids just kept saying how amazing it is but still wouldn't help name the cinnamon apple deliciousness..

So we're just going to call it Apple Pie Cobbler, the best of both worlds with a butter cinnamon sugar topping..

Hello deliciousness! 

Other then trying to name this little deliciousness we didn't seem to accomplish much of anything this weekend except a lot of loafing. We may or may not have been in PJ's until 2PM and by we I mean me and Colt. Hey don't judge you should try it out once in awhile, it was so nice.

Here's how we made this Apple Cobbler:


Sour Cream, Milk, Cream, Vanilla Extract, and Sugar mixed together in a stainless steel bowl.

Mix together until well combined:
  • 3/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 tablespoon Milk or Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/3 cup Sugar 
Flour with butter being cut in using a pastry cutter,

In a medium/large bowl mix together:
  • 2 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 3 teaspoons Baking Powder 
Until well combined.

 Cut in 1 cup Cold Butter using a pastry cutter until butter is the size of small peas.


Sour cream mixture being stirred into flour mixture.

Add all of the sour cream mixture and stir together until combined using a fork, and a tossing motion.

Apple Cobbler dough wrapped in plastic wrap.

Form dough into and disk. Cover dough in plastic wrap and place in freezer for 10 minutes.

Apple Cobbler filling mixed together in a mixing bowl.

In a large bowl combine:
  • 8 cups Peeled, Seeded and Diced Granny Smith Apples
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
Mix Apple Pie filling until well combined and set aside.

Rolled Apple Cobbler Biscuit Crust.

Roll dough between 2 pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap to about 1/2" thickness.

Cut dough into 2" circles using a biscuit cutter to make a total of 8 biscuits.

Brushing Apple Cobbler Biscuit topping with melted butter,

Place apples into a large cast iron skillet or 9x13 baking dish. 

Cover apples with rounds of dough and brush dough with butter.

Apple Cobbler sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.

In a small bowl mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until well combined. 

Sprinkle evenly over the top.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes or until biscuits are lightly brown, cooked through and apples are tender.

Then I strongly suggest eating these warm out of the oven with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream.
