Recipe of the Day
My recipe of the day is for a rag top apple cobbler and winds down my offerings for #AppleWeek this year. For this recipe, I have used Envy Apples which were graciously provided, as well as Bob’s Red Mill sparkling crystal sugar, another of the sponsor products (which I already had on hand), and Torani Puremade Caramel Syrup.
Great as a Last Minute Dessert
Making this cobbler was a last minute decision and is perfect for last minute decision making, as it is the type of dessert you can bake pretty much in no time.
It uses a minimum of ingredients and a packaged pie crust, which is almost haphazardly cut into strips if you are in a hurry. There is no fancy shaping of a pie crust here. The lines on the crust don’t even need to be straight. In fact, this is great for someone making a pie or cobbler for the first time, being very forgiving.
This does bake in an hour, but if you’re in a hurry, that’s not too too bad as you can serve this one warm from the oven with ice cream.

This just looks so pretty Sue! Definitely keeping the rag top idea in my head for the next time I make a pie, cobbler, or crumble!!!
Last minute desserts with what you have are the best! I love this dessert!
This looks terrific — plus all that caramel sauce in there?! Yum!
I love the simplicity of this, but it looks so tasty. I wish I had some for dessert tonight!
All of your recipes this week sounded amazing Sue. Wasn’t this a fun event?
Always! I am still thinking of more apple recipes!
Oh Sue, I LOVE the look of this cobbler! I like pie crust much more than biscuits so this is an idea I can totally get behind.
I like them both ways- crust or biscuit. It’s a perfect vehicle for ice cream.
What a FUN crust. I have never seen anything like that! And I love the name, too. Thanks for sharing, Sue.
This looks so easy to make, and I love that topping. Thanks for sharing!
