My Definition of ' Easy' Apple Cobbler

ingredients
-
Cobbler
- 1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1⁄4 cup white sugar
-
Topping
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened (But NOT melted, 1 stick)
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup flour
directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Mix filling ingredients in a round 8" glass oven proof dish. Spread as evenly as you can.
- Cream softened butter and brown sugar until smooth, add cinnamon.
- Blend in flour in batches until soft dough forms.
- I grabbed small balls, and pressed them between my palms to form an oval like patty.
- Slowly cover the entire top of the cobbler starting at the edges and moving around. Definitely not a science here that's just what worked for me.
- After the whole top is covered, fill in thinner spots left from overlapping pieces and gently press into a uniform topping.
- Use a butter knife to put small but sorta wide (so they don't close when it bakes) holes to help vent steam.
- Bake for 1 hour at 350°F, checking halfway through that your vents didn't close up.
- Almost all of the topping should have a light golden brown appearance, and the edges should not give when pressed lightly.
- For ease in serving, cool slightly and cut slices before spooning into bowls.
- Top with your favorite ice cream and enjoy!

Yummy! I adapted this recipe slightly to go with my diabetic diet by using sugar-free apple pie filling, Splenda and Splenda brown sugar blend in place of the other ingredients. This was really easy to make which makes it great for something to throw together during the work week for a special treat. Also, it is fabulous served warm with a scoop of "no sugar added" vanilla ice cream. I imagine this will be great with the cherry pie filling I have seen as well, just cutting back on the cinnamon for that variation. Thanks for sharing! ~Sue

Yay! A pie I can actually make! See, my family has passed along for generations the anti-pie crust gene. This is awesome. It's like upside down apple pie and I love the crust! I thought it may have too much cinnamon, but nope, it works so well. I made the crust exactly as you described and it worked out perfectly. I used a regular tin pie pan and other than my fault of not having the crust dough touching all edges so I had some spill over, it was delish! I will use this recipe often!

I'm heaven sent, don't you dare forget
I am all you've ever wanted,
what all the other [boys] all promised
Sorry I told, I just needed you to know
I think in decimals and dollars
I am the cause to all your problems
Shelter from cold, We are never alone
Coordinate brain and mouth
Then ask me what it's like to have myself so figured out - I wish I knew
I hope this songs starts a craze,
the kind of song that ignites the airways
The kind of song that makes people glad to be where they are
with who ever they're there with
This is war - Every line is about who I don't write about anymore
Hope you come down with something they can't diagnose,
don't have the cure for
Holding on to your grudge
Oh it's so hard to have someone to love
Keeping quiet is hard
'Cause you can't keep a secret if it never was a secret to start
At least pretend you didn't wanna get caught
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us
Oh we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial
We are entirely smooth
We fit to the truth
We are the best at what we do
And these are the words you wish you wrote down
This is the way you wish your voice sounds,
handsome and smart
Oh, my tongue's the only muscle on my body that works harder than my heart
And it's all from watching TV
and from speeding up my breathing
Wouldn't stop if I could
Oh it hurts to be this good
You're holding on to your grudge
Oh it hurts to always have to be honest with the one that you love
Oh so let it go
This is the craze only we can bestow
This is the price you pay for loss of control
This is the break in the ground
This is the closest of calls
This is the reason you're alone, this is the reason you fall!
We're consentratin' on fallin' apart
We were contenders, now throwin' the fight
I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe, I just wanna believe in us

I love to cook and to bake and to watch people enjoy the food that I make, and most of all I enjoy this 'practice' period I have - to prepare me for when I have a family of my own :)
