This Apple Cobbler recipe has a rich, savoury apple filling topped with a crisp, crunchy biscuit crust.
Cobbler tastes terrific with all kinds of fruit, like my recipe for Sour Cherry Cobbler, but I’m an apple loving dessert gal. The smell of apples spiced up with cinnamon baking in the oven, I simply can not resist. My gorgeous miniature cast iron frying pans were perfect for baking individual servings of Apple Cobbler. (a 9×9 square baking pan will work). The cinnamon cobbler topping is so good, sweet and crisp baked to a golden brown.
Some key points to making great cobbler are: make sure your butter is cold before cutting it into the flour mix, and add the cream gradually, mixing only until the dough starts to come together a bit. Don’t over mix the dough. It should be globs of dough rather than one big ball. Then spoon globs of the batter over the apples.

Can this be made in a 9 x 13 in pan?
I think 9x 13 pan may be too big. I would use 9×9 pan or add a few more apples if using 9×13.
Can you use spur cream instead of heavy cream?
Hi Betty, I have no idea what spur cream is?
