Stoblogger's Note:

This is an awesome autumn or holiday dessert and simple to prepare. The cobbler is outstanding served with vanilla ice cream. When ready to serve, put a big scoop on top of each bowl of warm cobbler. Yum!

Ingredients:

Serves: 12

Yield: 1.0 cobbler

• 4 cups cranberries
• 6 granny smith apples , peeled and sliced thin
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups brown sugar , firmly packed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 (11 ounce) cans biscuits , flaky kind that has layers
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 6 -8 tablespoons butter
• cooking spray

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Spray the bottom and sides of a 9"X13" baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl combine cornstarch, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger.
3. Using 1/2 a can of biscuits, pull apart the layers and haphazardly distribute a single layer across the bottom of the baking dish.
4. In a large bowl, combine cranberries, apples, vanilla, and the brown sugar mixture. Mix evenly and pour half the mixture onto the biscuits in the baking dish.
5. Create another thin layer of biscuits on top of the cranberries/apples with the other 1/2 can of biscuits. Then pour the remainder of cranberries and apples into the dish.
6. Create a top crust by laying on the remaining can of biscuits that have been separated into layers.
7. Sprinkle with sugar, dot generously with butter bits, and bake for 20 to 30 minutes on middle rack until top is golden. Check the center, going all the way to the bottom for doughy spots. If the center is not done, cover the top with a loose sheet of aluminum foil and bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes on 350°.
8. If you don't like a lot of dough in the cobbler, use only one can of biscuits to create a top crust only. Or create a bottom and top crust, be creative and make it your own.
