Topped with a ginger buttermilk biscuit crust, it’s just sweet enough.
One of our favorite things to make with our apples is this apple cobbler.
The filling is seasoned with cinnamon, lemon, and vanilla and isn’t overly sweet.

The buttermilk biscuit cobbler crust is speckled with bits of candied ginger.
You don’t have to chill the dough, or roll out a pie crust.
You just spoon the crust dough on top of the apple filling.

So you get the great taste of pie with half the work!

How To Store Leftover Apple Cobbler
Apple cobbler is best when served warm from the oven.
Elise Bauer
Cover the cobbler and store it in the fridge for up to five days.
The topping will soften with time, but will still taste fine.
Reheat individual servings in the microwave in 30-second bursts until warmed, or reheat in a toaster oven.

Can You Make Apple Cobbler Ahead?
Since cobbler is best the day it’s made, can it really be made ahead?
If the top starts to brown before the filling is bubbling, tent the pan with foil.
Elise Bauer
Can Apple Cobbler be Frozen?
it’s possible for you to make and freeze the filling for up to a month ahead.
Thaw completely before assembling and baking.

Got apples?
Cut them into 1/4 to 1/2 inch chunks.
Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat.
Elise Bauer
Toss to coat with everything so that the spices and sugar are well distributed throughout the apples.
Partially cover the pot and cook until the apples are just tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla, and toss to coat with a tablespoon of flour.
Elise Bauer
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the cubed butter and toss to coat with the flour mixture.
Stir in the candied ginger and zest.
Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture and pour in the buttermilk.
Use a fork to stir the flour and buttermilk together until the flour is all moistened.
Do not overwork the dough!
Crumble the cobbler dough over the top of the apples in the baking dish.
Bake for 10 minutes at 425F until the top is beginning to brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
