Expert Tips

  • Slice apples into evenly sized pieces. Differently sized pieces will result in uneven baking.
  • Completely coat apples with bottom layer ingredients before adding to pie dish.
  • Form cobbler topping dough into 4 or 5 evenly sized discs. Discs should be able 1/4 inch in thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What type of apples should I use?

I highly recommend using a combination of soft mushy apples (like Macintosh) and a slightly sour apple (like Granny smith). Macintosh apples bake nicely and get tender. Granny smith apples provide a little punch of flavor.

What is the difference between a crumble and a cobbler?

A cobbler is a deep dish dessert topped with a thick dough topping, whereas a crumble is a dessert with a layer of topping.

Does apple cobbler need to be refrigerated?

Yes, apple cobbler needs to be refrigerated. In this Paleo apple cobbler, there are only wholesome ingredients used. Refrigerating leftovers is needed.

Can I freeze apple cobbler?

Yes, you can freeze apple cobbler. For this gluten free apple cobbler, simply thaw and then reheat before eating.

How do I reheat leftovers?

Either microwave or bake leftovers. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 to 12 minutes covered with foil or until warmed through.
