What Is A Cobbler?

Cobblers have been around for over 150 years, and are a classic American dessert. They’re kind of like an upside-down pie, with a biscuit-like crust on the top and a fruity layer on the bottom. They are a classic American dessert and you can find cobblers all across the South. Made with any variety of fruit, there are so many different kinds of cobblers, and they’re all delicious!

Ingredients

• Apple Pie Filling – You’ll need 40 ounces. That’s about 2 cans.
• White cake mix – One box.
• Ground cinnamon
• Unsalted butter – 1 stick; melted.
• Vanilla ice cream – For serving. Optional, but who can resist the hot cobbler with a scoop of ice cream?

How To Make The Best Slow Cooker Apple Cobbler

1. Add the apple pie filling to the insert of your crockpot. Spread it out evenly.
2. Sprinkle the apples with ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and mix it in a bit to combine.
3. Add the cake mix and remaining cinnamon to a bowl and mix well. Sprinkle the cake mix and cinnamon mixture evenly over the apples.
4. Drizzle the melted butter over the top of the cake mix. Do NOT mix the cake mix into the apples – it should be in a layer over the top.
5. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 hours.
6. Serve hot with a scoop of ice cream, and enjoy!

Recipe Tips

• I buy cake mix and pantry ingredients like apple pie filling when they go on sale. That way, they’re always in my pantry to make easy recipes like this Crockpot Apple Cobbler.
• White cake mix has the most neutral flavor, but you can also use yellow cake mix.
• Do not mix the cake mix into the apples. It should sit in a layer on the top.
• You can make a blueberry cobbler, cherry cobbler, or any other kind as long as you’ve got 2 cans of pie filling.
• I like to let the cobbler cool a little bit in the slow cooker before serving, that way, the ice cream doesn’t melt right away.

Serving Suggestions

This slow cooker apple dessert goes hand-in-hand with vanilla ice cream. You could also serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or, better yet, whipped cream with a dusting of cinnamon. I love this dessert on cool nights after hearty meals of shredded beef on a bun, meaty ribs, or chicken Parmesan.

Storage

Store any leftover Crockpot Apple Cobbler in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Let it cool completely before putting the lid on it, or you’ll get condensation inside the container, which could make your cobbler soggy.

Reheat the cobbler in the microwave, or enjoy it cold! It’s great for picnics or school lunches.
