Happy Fall(I know I’m a lil early.. please don’t kill my vibe)!!You know what time it is right? It’s officially apple season, and I’m going to show you how to make an easy apple cobbler!That’s right a nice hot bubbly apple cobbler with cinnamon, sugar, and a hint of lemon. Honey –let me tell you that this stuff is addicting! Just think of an apple pie, and a peach cobbler ( minus the peaches) all in one. Sounds pretty freaking good huh? I thought so too, that’s why I made a ton of cobbler filling. No seriously- I really made lot’s of cobbler filling, and froze it ( It’s freezable y’all!!) for later use.

The recipe for this apple cobbler couldn’t be any easier. All you need is some apples, sugar, some store bought crust, a few other simple ingredients. and you are good to go! So say goodbye to apple pie…

Me: It’s been real Mr. Apple Pie, but I’m leaving you. As of now, you just can’t please me the way that Cobbler can!

So now that we’ve successfully dumped Mr. Apple Pie, let’s get to my new boo Mr. Cobbler!

For this recipe I will be using Granny Smith apples. I really love the sweet & tartness of Granny Smiths, and in my opinion, they are the best for cobblers and pies.

To make this recipe easy, I used a store bought pie crust. Of course you can make your own crust if you choose.

Since it is fall, I decided cut the pie crust/dough into small little leaves, using cookie cutters. You don’t have to do that. You can cut the crust in squares or circles.

Keep in mind that this is a cobbler- not a pie. When serving, you will scoop it out, not slice it into a wedge 🙂

Here’s my recipe

Hey Rosie, this looks great! My question is probably a dumb one but I’m wondering what the difference is between this and a traditional apple pie?
Thanks so much!
Janet

  Hi Janet! No question is a dumb question. Cobbler has more juice, and is scooped out. Pie is a little more solid, and is sliced.

    Oh, okay. Now that makes sense! Thank you! I’m wondering if I could make this in a 13 x 9?

Hi Rosie,
I love your website, and I have made several of your recipes with great success. This apple cobbler looks really good, and I cannot wait to try and make it. My only question is how much vanilla extract should I use in this recipe?
Thank you,
Paula

I tried this cobbler and it was so easy and delicious. I really liked it the next day as i think the flavor was more enhanced. Also tried the Candied yams and they were great as well. Love your recipes.

thanks Rosie. Made it for St Patty’s Day. Excellent use of old apples and pie crust. Was surprised how long it takes to cook apples to tender, though. I’m loving adding crystallized ginger too next time.
