Making This Snickerdoodle Apple Cobbler

This easy snickerdoodle apple cobbler uses canned apple pie filling and our favorite recipe for Snickerdoodles. It’s simple and the dessert comes together quickly. Half the cookie dough goes on the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Then you top it with apple pie filling and the remaining Snickerdoodle dough. Quick dust of cinnamon sugar on top, then it’s baked. I drizzle mine with caramel then add some vanilla ice cream!

Snickerdoodle Apple Cobbler Ingredients

— butter: I prefer real salted butter. You’ll need 1 stick, which is 1/2 cup

–butter flavored shortening: you’ll also need 1/2 cup shortening as it improves the texture of cookie dough.

— granulated sugar: 1 1/2 cups sugar is what you’ll use in the Snickerdoodle cookie dough

–2 eggs

–1 TBSP vanilla

–2 3/4 cups flour

–2 tsp cream of tartar: to get that signature Snickerdoodle texture, you’ll need cream of tartar.

–1 tsp baking soda: used for leavening, or making the cookie dough puff up

–1/2 tsp salt

–cinnamon-sugar mixture (1/2 cup sugar + 2 TBSP cinnamon)

–apple pie filling: you’ll need two 20-oz cans apple pie filling. If you’re using homemade apple pie filling, you’ll want a rounded 4.5 cups.

–caramel sauce, for topping (see my recipe for the BEST Homemade Caramel Sauce here!)

How to Make Snickerdoodle Apple Cobbler

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F and spray a 9×13 glass pan with non-stick cooking spray. (If using a darker pan, decrease temp to 350°F)

With a hand mixer, cream together the butter, shortening, 1 1/2 cups sugar, the eggs and the vanilla. Blend in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt.

Take about 2/3 of the snickerdoodle dough and press it flat into the bottom of the 9×13 pan, pressing against the edges so that they rise just a bit around the sides of the pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture on top of the dough.

Spread both cans of the apple pie filling over the dough, making sure that it extends to all of the sides. Take the remaining cookie dough and crumble it with your fingers, placing small pieces covering the top of the apple pie filling. It won’t completely cover it, but it will be close. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture on top.

Cover the cobbler with foil. (I sprayed the side that would be touching the cobbler with non-stick spray.) Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 minutes in the middle rack of the oven. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes.

Let it cool for 10 minutes and serve, topped with caramel sauce if desired. Or a scoop of vanilla ice cream and then caramel sauce. Mmmmm!

What Is The Difference Between Apple Crisp And Apple Cobbler?

Apple crisp is a dessert dish that has a crunchy layer of ingredients (typically oats) on top of baked apples. Apple cobbler is a softer dessert that is more similar to a biscuit or dumpling baked with the apple filling.

Can Cobbler Be Made Ahead Of Time?

Cobbler can be made ahead of time and baked in advance. Serving it cold is still good but the cooked breaded part on the top of your cobbler will be soft after chilling. For that reason, you may want to reheat it in the oven to warm the dessert back up and get the tip to crisp up again.

How Do You Store Apple Cobbler?

You should keep your apple cobbler inside of the fridge in an airtight container. If your baking dish has a tight-fitting lid, this would be the perfect solution. Just make sure that your cobbler has completely cooled before placing it in the fridge.

How Do You Reheat Apple Cobbler?

To reheat your snickerdoodle apple cobbler inside of the oven, bake it uncovered at 375 degrees F for about 25-30 minutes, until it is bubbling. Place it in the oven while it is cold so that the cold baking dish doesn’t explode from the sudden change of cold to hot. The oven and baking dish will warm up together.

Does Cobbler Freeze Well?

Cobbler freezes very well. Just keep your already baked apple cobbler inside of an airtight container and freeze it for up to 1 month. Then thaw and reheat when you want to eat it.
