Ok. This apple cobbler with biscuit topping. This is my favorite biscuit recipe on top of a brown sugar, cinnamon fried apple filling. This is so decadent and fluffy. You have to top with vanilla ice cream while it’s hot. You cannot beat this classic southern dessert.
I feel like there are so many ways to make a cobbler. I love biscuits and my biscuit recipe is so simple and quick to make. So, why not put it on top of apple cobbler filling? Seriously though…this recipe is so delicious.
Equipment You’ll Need
As for equipment, you’ll start with a vegetable peeler to peel your apples with. You could leave the rind on but it’ll make for a tougher and chewy textured filling. You’ll then need a skillet to fry your apples and bake the cobbler in. I used a 10-inch cast iron.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Apples:
You’ll need about six to eight apples. You can use whatever type you’d like.
Lemon Juice:
This just gives a tiny bit of flavor.
Butter:
To help cook down the apple slices.
Brown Sugar:
You’ll need about a cup of brown sugar.
Cinnamon
You’ll use about a tablespoon and a half of cinnamon.
Nutmeg:
You’ll need a dash of nutmeg. You can omit this if you want.
Cornstarch:
This will thicken up the apple filling.
Dry Biscuit Ingredients:
You’ll mix flour baking soda and sugar together.
Wet Biscuit Ingredients
You’ll need two tablespoons of Crisco and a cup of milk.
How to Make this Apple Cobbler with Biscuit Topping
Step One:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Peel and slice your apples and add them to your skillet on medium to high heat with some butter and lemon juice. Sauté them for several minutes then add your cinnamon and nutmeg. Once they have cooked all the way down add in your cornstarch, stir then remove from heat.
Step two:
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the biscuits then add in the Crisco and milk. Work together with your hands until it’s fully mixed together. Pinch off individual pieces of dough and add over the top of the apples.
Step three:
Bake at 350 for around 20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown. Serve with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
