Apple Cobbler

I first made this recipe on our local morning news show. Because I like easy and delicious recipes, I knew this one would be a winner.

I use any apples that I have left over, maybe picking up a few extra at the market. Topped with ice cream (or poured over with cream for breakfast) this recipe will work with peaches too.

For this recipe I didn’t peel the apples, but you could if you wanted to. I used Cutco’s 4" Paring Knife to cut even slices.

Having the apple slices at the same thickness will assure even cooking and a sharp knife makes all the difference.

To mix the crumb topping, if you don’t have a pastry blender, you can easily use a dinner fork, since you want the mixture to be just combined into small crumbs.
