Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Apple Cobbler

This is the cobbler we make when the first bushel of apples comes in and the kitchen finally wants the oven on again. The apples are cooked first on the stovetop until they're soft and glossy, while the biscuit topping bakes into golden, cinnamon-sugar peaks with tender centers. Serve it warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and don't expect leftovers!

Ingredients

Apple Mixture

Cobbler

Cobbler Topping

1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Peel, core and slice the apples. Add them to a large bowl and toss with the brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, lemon juice and flour.
Melt the butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the apples and cook until just tender, about 6 to 8 minutes, adding water as needed to build a sauce that coats the back of a spoon. Set aside and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the cold shredded butter and work it into the flour with your fingers until well blended and coarse like a meal.
In another small bowl, whisk the milk and egg together, then add to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
Spoon the apple mixture into a round baking dish. Scoop the cobbler dough on top in small, even mounds. Stir the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the top.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbly and browned. Let cool for 15 minutes, then serve with vanilla ice cream.
