Ingredients
Makes one 9 × 13-inch cobbler
2 cans (21 oz each) Lucky Leaf Apple Pie Filling
1/2 teaspoon McCormick Ground Cinnamon
1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury Refrigerated Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough
Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
Nonstick cooking spray or butter, for greasing the baking dish (optional)
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the baking dish
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick cooking spray. Spread both cans of apple pie filling evenly across the bottom.
Step 2: Add the cinnamon
Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the apple pie filling. Gently stir the apples in the dish to distribute the cinnamon evenly without making a mess.
Step 3: Add the cookie dough
Break the refrigerated snickerdoodle cookie dough into small, quarter-sized pieces. Scatter them evenly over the apple filling, leaving a few small gaps so the apple mixture can bubble through as it bakes.
Step 4: Bake until golden
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the cookie topping is puffed and golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.
If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover the dish with foil and continue baking until the cookie dough is cooked through.
Step 5: Cool slightly and serve
Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes. Spoon it into serving bowls while still warm and top with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Tips for the best apple cobbler
- Check the center: Cookie dough should be fully baked, not raw or doughy.
- Add extra cinnamon: For a stronger cinnamon flavor, sprinkle a little extra over the cookie dough before baking.
- Make it extra special: Add chopped pecans or walnuts for a crunchy texture.
- Serve warm: Vanilla ice cream melts into the warm apples and creates a delicious creamy sauce.
- Store leftovers: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3–4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the baking dish in the oven.
