Tips for Preparing Fruit for Cobbler

• Use a sharp vegetable peeler.
  Just like knives, vegetable peelers dull over time, and there isn’t a way to sharpen them. So, if you use yours often, you might want to replace it every year or so. This way, it will glide right over your apples.
  We also recommend using a corer to cut the apple into wedges before you start cutting. This makes it easier to cut the fruit into thin slices.

Equipment Used in this Recipe

• Apple corer
• Peeler
• Chef’s knife
• Cutting board
• Mixing bowl
• Round baking dish or 10-inch cast iron skillet

How to Make Apple Cobbler Made with Bisquick

1. Grease the baking dish well, with butter.
   One of the reasons we like making cast iron desserts is because almost nothing will stick to a well seasoned cast iron pan.
   If you use a baking dish, grease it well, and for the best flavor, use butter rather than non-stick cooking spray.

2. Decrease sugar if using a sweeter variety of apple.
   For Granny Smith or Golden Delicious apples, use the full 3/4 cup of sugar. If using a sweet apple variety, like Honey Crisp or Fuji, reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup, unless you like extra sweet baked goods.

3. Test for sweetness.
   Although the fruit is available all year long, it will always be the sweetest during harvest time. In most parts of the United States, apples are in season from late September through the end of November.
   After you toss the slices with sugar, taste one to see if it’s sweet enough for you. If not, go ahead and mix in another teaspoon of sugar.
4. Avoid over mixing the batter.
   As you combine the ingredients together, you may see a few spots of Bisquick that aren’t combined. This is perfectly okay! If you over mix, you’ll end up with a dry, crumbly biscuit topping on your Bisquick apple cobbler.

5. Use a scoop to portion the topping.
   While it isn’t the end of the world if the biscuits are different sizes, having them all consistent does make for a much prettier presentation. We like to use a medium-sized cookie scoop, but a large spoon works fine, too.

Serving Suggestions

While this Bisquick apple cobbler is perfectly enjoyable at room temperature, it truly shines when served warm. The tender apples and golden topping become even more comforting right out of the oven. For a touch of indulgence, add your favorite toppings to elevate each bite. A scoop of vanilla ice cream slowly melting over the warm cobbler creates a dreamy contrast of hot and cold. For something lighter, a swirl of whipped cream adds just the right touch of sweetness. Or, drizzle salted caramel sauce over the top for a rich and decadent finish. However you choose to serve it, this apple cobbler made with Bisquick is sure to satisfy every sweet craving.
