Apple Cobbler

It is officially that time of the year where fall is here, so here is an apple cobbler dish found on Pinterest and it is absolutely delicious and perfect for the season. What’s better than a warm fall treat topped with a big ole’ scoop of vanilla ice cream?

I have personally made it four times now and every time I make it, it doesn’t make it to the next day. It is loaded with so many flavors that remind you of fall, such as the classic cinnamon and spice (and everything nice). Not to mention that when you take a bite of this masterpiece the apples become this super juicy, sweet mixture and the topping is so buttery making it even better.

As I was baking this for the first time, I was looking over the directions and recipe posted and I was wondering why they used Granny Smith and Honey Crisp apples, but it turns out the Honey Crisp apples are actually known for being juicier than any other red apple. So, no wonder why there are only four of them being used for this dish.

Even though I think this dish is absolutely amazing and worth making, there are also other recipes that I have followed for peach, blueberry, cherry, strawberry, and caramel apple pecan cobblers that are EQUALLY as yummy!
