I love making different cookies and quick breads but I seem to get in a bit of a rut when it comes to desserts. I tend to make apple crisp, Coca-Cola Cake, Southern peach cobblerand a few other favourites over and over again. It was time to branch out…maybe an apple cobbler recipe?
Cobbler is a favourite in our house. I grew up in the South so cobbler is a staple dessert for me. What makes cobbler different than the crisps that so many people make?
Well, crisps are usually covered with an oat-based topping while cobblers are topped with a biscuit or batter topping. This apple cobbler recipe is a bit out of the ordinary with a unique topping.
I found a delicious looking recipe for a Snickerdoodle apple cobbler on Pinterest. I loved the idea of apples covered in a cinnamon-y sugar cookie crust even though it was a little different than the usual biscuit topping. Yum.
Unfortunately, the recipe I found had tons of steps and wasn’t as simple as the recipes I make in my own kitchen. So, I decided to try it my own (easier) way. It worked out beautifully and our guests raved.
