Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, try adding a handful of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the apple mixture.
• You can substitute Granny Smith apples for a tarter taste or mix apple varieties for more complexity.
• If you prefer a softer topping, partially bake the apples for 10 minutes before adding the cookie dough slices.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a more indulgent dessert.

Storage

Store any leftover cobbler in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until warm. For best texture, avoid reheating for too long as the cookie topping can become soggy.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use homemade cookie dough instead of premade?

Yes, homemade sugar cookie dough works well. Just make sure it’s rolled and sliced similarly so it bakes evenly over the apples.

Can I prepare this cobbler ahead of time?

You can assemble the cobbler and refrigerate it unbaked for up to 24 hours. When ready, bake it straight from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if needed.

Notes

• Gala apples are recommended for their natural sweetness; however, you can substitute with Granny Smith or Fuji apples for a tarter or crisper texture.
• Make sure the apples are chopped into bite-sized pieces for even cooking and easy serving.
• If you prefer a thicker filling, add an extra tablespoon of flour to help absorb juices.
• For added richness, serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
• Premade sugar cookie dough simplifies preparation, but homemade sugar cookie dough can be used as well.
• Ensure the baking dish is well greased to prevent sticking.
