Apple Cobbler
"This recipe is from a cookbook I picked up at an apple orchard. Since I picked a variety of baking apples, so I was able to combine some different kinds to get a delicious result."

The spices and their proportions were very tasty, but there was too much sugar in my opinion. I don't like my desserts to be overly sweet, so I cut it down to 1/2 cup. It was just the right amount. I didn't think there was enough of the biscuit dough to cover the fruit adequately. However, I did use a larger pan, so that contributed to the problem. I used 5 large apples, and that was plenty. If you are using very small apples, then 7 would probably be the right number. I prefer a cake-like topping over biscuits, so I probably won't make this again. Go ahead and try this if you like the biscuit kind of crust. (Hubby liked it a lot.) -
This was wonderful, so easy. I have a large apple tree and am always looking for ways to use them.(Don,t know what kind of apples they are). The tree was here when I moved in and no one around here knows what kind they are. Mine cooked in 30 mins. Thanks for the receipe Am making it again today..... -
Yummy!! This recipe goes together very quickly and easily, and bakes up with a lightly sweet biscuit-like crust. I baked this for 55 minutes and the apples got a little mushy. Next time, I will only bake for 45 minutes and they should be perfect. I didn't have any half & half, so I poured whipping cream over it, yuumm!! My family devoured this and gave it 2 big thumbs up. Thank you for sharing this wonderful, easy dessert...it is definitely a keeper!!

I am a Spanish teacher and my favorite thing to cook is a slow baked Lima bean casserole with herbs de provence. I also love cooking dairy-free with cashew cream.
