Y’all I put my foot in this warm cozy apple cobbler! It has all those fall spices that bring flavor on flavor. I bake the apples until tender with a little fruity mulled wine. Finally, I finish it with a fluffy cinnamon biscuit topping that just melts into the sweet apple syrup. Scoop on the vanilla ice cream, and serve it up.

“This was incredible!!! The drop biscuit topping was to die for, with an amazing crunchy exterior and chewy interior. Combined with the filling, the whole thing tastes like a cinnamon roll but with apple and a super satisfying texture. 11/10.”

Notes
How to store & reheat apple cobbler
Make sure you cool the cobbler down to room temp. Then store in an airtight container or cover with foil and pop in the fridge. To reheat, preheat the oven to 250 degrees, take the cobbler out of the fridge and transfer it to an oven-safe dish, if need be. For individual serving sizes, reheat for 10-15 minutes. For an entire cobbler, reheat for 30-45 minutes. Take the cobbler out of the oven, and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before getting down.How long will apple cobbler last in the fridge?
It should keep up to 3-4 days in the fridge.Can I freeze?
For sure boos! Just wrap super tightly in plastic wrap then cover that with foil. Make sure you label with the date. It should last for up to 3 months.Nutrition
Recipe Tips
- Slice Apples Thinly and Evenly: This will help those apples cook evenly until tender.
- Keep that Butter Cold: To get that fluffy, flaky drop biscuit just right, make sure that butter is cold boos.
- Don’t Overmix: As soon as the water goes into your biscuit dough, mix until it just combines. If you keep going, the biscuit topping could get dense.
- Check for Doneness: You can insert a knife into the center to confirm that the apples are tender. If the apples are still firm, keep baking. If your topping is browning too fast, just add some foil on top.
- Chill Out: Give your cobbler a rest before you dive in. This will help that syrup set up and make serving a whole lot easier y’all.
Recipe Substitutions
- Apples: While Honeycrisp and Granny Smith are legit great options, you can also swap in Gala, Braeburn, Pink Lady or any baking apple you like. Or mix it up and add a few variety for different flavors and textures.
- Cabernet Sauvignon: Merlot, Red Blend or Pinot Noir are also great options!
Recipe help
Yep for sure. I would make the biscuit topping ahead and store in the fridge until ready to use. For the apples, it is best not to make ahead since the apples will brown quickly.
Yep boos. I would recommend that you so the filling has a nice smooth texture. Those peels can create a chewy tough taste, and nobody wants that!
If the mulled wine vibes ain’t your jam, go with grape juice, cranberry juice or even apple cider as a nice substitute.

Is there a way to make this without a food processor ? I have a Kitchen aid Mixer could i use that maybe.?
If you don’t have a food processer then a blender will work, the mixer won’t get things fine enough.
How many apples for 3 poubds?
The best way to measure is by weight at the grocery store using a scale. Apples came in all different sizes so it’s hard to say an exact amount based on how many you’ll need. It could range from 3+.
wow! Best Apple Cobbler Ever!
