Apple Cobbler

Apple Cobbler

Greer loves cobblers, but wasn't allowed too many sweets growing up.  Now that we are all grown up, we do enjoy desserts every once in a while, and this one tastes great, and makes the house smell great too.  It is similar to apple pie, but comes together quicker.








Ingredients:
10 small gala apples
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon cinnamon
a pinch of nutmeg
a pinch of ground cloves

For topping:
1 cup flour
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¾ stick cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
¼ cup boiling water
sprinkle a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg on top

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Toss Apples with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in an 8x8 baking dish
and bake in middle of oven for 10 minutes.

Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in butter with your fingers until mixture
resembles coarse meal. Stir in water until just combined.

Remove apples from oven and drop topping over them. Lightly sprinkle with cinnamon and
nutmeg. Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.



Leftovers:

Keep in the fridge and reheat, it keeps for about a week.
