I think this is the best apple cobbler I’ve every tasted. This cobbler is a fantastic way to celebrate apple season, and it is super easy to prepare and bake. Top the cobbler off with some cinnamon sugar or scatter maple flakes over it. We love it served warm with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce!
An apple cobbler is comforting and versatile dessert that you can adapt to suit your taste. Serve it with a holiday meal, Sunday dinner, or everyday family meal. Or make the cobbler for a special weekend treat.
Recipe Variations
- Add Nuts: Add some texture to the apple cobbler with chopped nuts. I like walnuts or pecans with the apples. Sprinkle 2 to 4 tablespoons over the cobbler topping before baking.
- Spices: Experiment with different spices, like apple pie spice or a different combination. Add a dash of nutmeg or allspice to the cinnamon in the recipe.
- Different Fruits: Make the cobbler with sliced pears instead of apples, or use a combination, such as apples and blueberries.
