Sugar Cookie and Apple Cobbler

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This sugar cookie and apple cobbler has a warm apple filling and a cookie crust. Sprinkled with cinnamon sugar for an extra crunchy layer.

My stepmother stopped over and gifted me with a HUGE shoebox full of recipe cards and books that she had.  After going through all the wonderful recipes, I landed on one that would be perfect for fall!  It was in a Pillsbury/The Pampered Chef small cookbook called, Turning Out the Best Recipe Book.

Ingredients for apple cobbler sugar cookie dough

This easy dessert has –

  • Premade sugar cookie dough
  • Apples
  • Lemon juice
  • Flour

If you have a really good recipe, like this one from Life, Love & Sugar, you could even make your own sugar cookie dough for the crust.

Since this apple dessert recipe bakes up nicely in a dish and can travel well, it’s the perfect dish to bring to holiday parties or tailgates.

How to make sugar cookie and apple cobbler

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Core and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces, then add the apples to a bowl.

To the apples add lemon juice, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, brown sugar, and flour.  Stir to combine.

Next, open the cookie dough and cut it into 18 slices.  Place the slices over the top of the apple filling.

Where do you find premade sugar cookie dough?
At my grocery store, the tubes are in the same cooler case as the premade biscuits and break-and-bake cookies.
A typical brand is Pillsbury.

FAQ’s

What type of apple is best to use in desserts?

Gala apples are my favorite type of apple to bake since they tend to hold a bit of their crispness even after baking.

Can you use peeled apples for apple cobbler?

I love cooking my apples with the skin on them, but I know not everyone does so feel free to take the skin off before cooking with them.

Can I use apple pie spice in this recipe?

If you have apple pie spice on hand, go ahead and substitute the cinnamon and nutmeg in the apples with 1/2 tsp.

Fall dinner favorites

  • Ground Beef Stroganoff
  • Instant Pot No Bean Beef Chili
  • Pressure Cooker Chicken & Noodles

Let the dessert cool slightly, serve warm. And here you are……
