MOM'S APPLE COBBLER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a 13x9x2 inch baking dish ( I prefer to use a glass one). Cut shortening into flour until particles resemble fine crumbs. Add milk and stir with a fork only until dough leaves the side of the bowl. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured board or pastry cloth, and knead just until smooth. Roll dough out into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch think. Sprinkle cinnamon over chopped apples, then sprinkle apples evenly over the dough. Roll up dough like a jelly roll and dampen the edges with water to seal. Slice dough into about 16 slices, 1/2 inch thick. Place slices in baking dish with the melted butter. In saucepan, heat water and sugar until dissolved. Pour the sugar syrup around the rolls. This will look like too much liquid, but dough will absorb it while baking. Bake for 55-60 minutes.
• VARIATION: This cobbler can also be made with other fresh, frozen, or canned fruits such as blackberries, cherries, or peaches. If the fruit is packed in liquid, drain and substitute for part of the water in the sugar syrup. Add enough water to make two cups of liquid.

MAMA'S FRUIT COBBLER

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients together and set aside.
• Place drained fruit in a buttered 8x8 pan and top with bread strips.
• Pour sugar mixture over bread and fruit and sprinkle with cinnamon if desired.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until golden brown.
• Great topped with ice cream or whipped cream on top.
• Note: I dont usually measure the fruit, I just fill the bottom of the pan. Frozen fruit that has been partially defrosted works great as does soft fresh fruit- harder fruits such as apples or pears should be precooked until softened for best results. Drained canned fruit works great for this too. One large can (29 oz) is a perfect amount.

APPLE COBBLER

Steps:

• Make the filling: In a medium pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, tossing to coat in the butter. Add lemon juice, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt and stir to combine. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the apples start to soften, 5 to 6 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together granulated sugar and flour. Add to the pot and stir well to combine. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. (If you'd like to make it ahead of time, the filling will keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch pan with a thin layer of butter or a coating of nonstick spray, and scoop the filling into the pan.
• Prepare the cobbler: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and salt together to combine. Add the butter and toss well until each piece is coated fully with flour. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse meal; the butter should be almost completely worked into the flour.
• Make a well in the center of the bowl, then add the buttermilk, egg and vanilla. Use a fork or small whisk to first beat the egg lightly, then stir all the ingredients together until well combined.
• Using a spoon, drop the batter in large dollops all over the cobbler. (Most of the surface will be covered, but some of the filling should still be visible.) Generously sprinkle turbinado sugar over the surface.
• Transfer to the oven and bake until the filling is bubbly and the biscuit topping is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving warm.

FAST, EASY APPLE COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the baking mix, the flour, baking powder, 2 tablespoons of the sugar, the beaten egg, the salt, the canola oil, the vanilla, and the milk. The batter will be pretty thin.
• Spray a 9" x 9" baking dish with the cooking spray and spread the apple pie filling in the bottom. Pour the batter over it and place into the preheated oven.
• After 25 minutes, remove the cobbler from the oven and sprinkle the remaining sugar (1 tablespoon) and the cinnamon over the top. Return it to the oven right away and bake for 15-20 more minutes until it is light brown on top. You can test the top with a toothpick at the end of this time to see if it comes out clean. If so, it's done. If not, bake for a few more minutes.
• NOTE: You can also substitute cherry or blueberry pie filling for this recipe!
