Apple Cobbler is one of my all-time favorite comfort foods. I love the way that my house smells when I make it, and I love how comforting it is. Right now, my house is quiet, everyone is asleep. It is dark and a very rare rainy night. All I really want right now is this Apple Cobbler. And maybe a steamy cup of coffee.
This recipe is a hybrid of two other recipes that I really love. The filling is the filling from my Apple Pie and the cobbler part is from my Peach and Blueberry Cobbler. One night I was thinking about how much I loved both things and I got the brilliant (if-I-do-say-so-myself) idea to marry the two and this heavenly creation was born. I know that this is a good cobbler because I do not even want to put ice cream on it.
It is as if Mark Darcy is saying to Bridget, “I like you just the way you are.” It is perfect. Now I want to hunker down on the couch and watch Bridget Jone’s Diary. V. badly.
Apple Filling:
2 1/2 pounds Golden Delicious apples, peeled and sliced
3/4 cup sugar
2 to 3 Tablespoons flour
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons butter
Peel and core your apples. I used my old-fashioned apple peeler.
Actually, Ava and Daddy did, who am I kidding?
In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugar, flour, lemon juice, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cobbler:
1 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon baking powder
6 Tablespoons cold butter
1/4 cup boiling water
In another bowl, combine the flour, sugars, salt, and baking powder.
Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or a fork. When it resembles peas or coarse sand, pour in 1/4 cup boiling water. If you notice in the picture, I used the wrong size measuring cup and had to start all over again. Oops. V. bad.
This is what it is supposed to look like when you add the correct amount of water.
Spread the apples in a baking dish (I believe this is a 10 inch round) and dot with butter.
Cover with the cobbler batter. Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
Summary of Apple Cobbler:
Apples Used: 6 (v.g. counts as serving of fruit)
Cups of sugar consumed: 1 1/4 cups
Total winning lottery tickets: 0
Happy people from eating said Apple Cobbler: 5 (v.g. indeed)

Welcome Jo-Anna! Thank you very much.
This is v. witty! You are a clever girl indeed! Maybe we will take this on a mini break this weekend?
lol… would love a mini-break right now.
Looks great! Do you yhink using red apples would be just as good or not so much? Its what I happen to have on hand.
Anything other than Red Delicious, they do not bake very well.
I dont believe I was a follower when you originally posted this recipe but sure glad I read your 7 things post as this was the first of your 7 recipes I went to! Can’t wait to try it this week as fall is near and this will help make the house smell sooo good as I decorate our house for fall. Love your posts! Thank you for taking the time to share your favorites and your family
thank you so much!
So, I recently “purged” myself of blogs that didn’t jive with my mentalitity, i.e. came off as judgemental or were overall snooty and preachy. Let’s just say I deleted A LOT. Anyway, I’ve been searching for new ones to follow but everything has been sort of – eh. And then I found you. I know we just met, but I must say, I think I’m in love. Love your attitude, your foods, your blog, EVERYTHING. Adding you to my reader now! Sure hope we can be food buddies – I think we have a lot of similar beliefs (let’s just say I read your chicken nugget post and I don’t even want to tell you what I spend for a family of TWO because of my beliefs!). I’ve yet to discuss such things on my blog because it’s new, but I feel you sistah! Okay, enough. I’m annoying
P.S. Why did no one read this apple crisp? Insanity, I tell you!

Welcome friend! I am so flattered that I made the cut. And no, you will never be annoying.
[...] Did y’all have a good weekend? We did. The best part, it is not over yet. Everyone is off tomorrow. In the morning, I just might celebrate the day off with a big stack of buttermilk pancakes with this delicious spiced maple syrup. Sounds like a good way to start the day if you ask me. This syrup really makes plain pancakes special. You can make the little spice packet and use it to flavor apple cider, or just simmer it in some water to perfume your house. But I really like it in maple syrup. I would also bet that it would be amazing in baked oatmeal, or whipped into some whipped cream to top an apple pie or apple crisp. [...]
