I doubled the amount of appels and this was absolutely fabulous! The family are not too keen on my experiments in the kitchen, but this was a 'mum, you can make this again...'recipe! Thanks for sharing!

This was good. My husband liked it the most. The cobbler was more spongy than I am used to. I prefer more of biscuity cobbler. Even though my husband liked it, the leftovers did not get eaten very quickly....and that is the ultimate measure of success here.

Wow, we really enjoyed this. I loved the taste of the apples, the spicing was perfect. I used 4 apples, because we like alot of apple. The fruit was amazing with great flavor, tart, sweet and spicy and the cake was light and airy. It was quick to make and had easy to follow instructions. Great use of the contest ingredients. Good luck in the contest, comfort food at its best.
