Easy Apple Dumpling Cobbler Recipe
It’s officially fall! And with falling leaves come the falling apples… hopefully not on anyone’s head. (A very real danger that we’ve tried to remedy with apple-picking helmets).
Since it’s apple season (and with October being National Apple Month), I’ve decided to celebrate on the blog! You can expect apple-related content for all five Fridays of this October.
Our trees have been loaded with apples this year. While many plants seemed to struggle, the apples made it through, with some of the branches nearly dragging on the ground! Our mailbox is covered with a low-slung apple branch, much to the dismay of the mail carrier.
Of course, once we have a bucket or twenty of apples, we have to make treats with them. My grandfather likes to make applesauce by hand (a delicious but time-consuming activity) and my parents enjoy using their wonderful KitchenAid applesauce attachment. But there are only so many applesauce batches and apple pies you can make. And sometimes, you just want something that uses up a bunch of apples and is simple to throw together.
That’s where this easy apple dumpling cobbler recipe comes in! My grandfather has fond memories of my great-grandmother making this in the same kitchen we have now. It’s a simple and delicious way to use up apples in this time of apple abundance.
Tips and Tricks
Note that this recipe leaves plenty of room for adjustment – if you’d like more or less of something, feel free to try it, especially for the apples! Taste a slice from the apple filling before dumping into the pan, so you can adjust the amounts if you want to. And of course, don’t forget that ever-valuable Crisco butter shortening…**
