My Definition of ' Easy' Apple Cobbler

Ingredients

Cobbler

• 1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup white sugar

Topping

• 1/2 cup butter, softened (But NOT melted, 1 stick)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup flour

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. 2

   Mix filling ingredients in a round 8" glass oven proof dish. Spread as evenly as you can.

3. 3

   Cream softened butter and brown sugar until smooth, add cinnamon.

4. 4

   Blend in flour in batches until soft dough forms.

5. 5

   I grabbed small balls, and pressed them between my palms to form an oval like patty.

6. 6

   Slowly cover the entire top of the cobbler starting at the edges and moving around. Definitely not a science here that's just what worked for me.

7. 7

   After the whole top is covered, fill in thinner spots left from overlapping pieces and gently press into a uniform topping.

8. 8

   Use a butter knife to put small but sorta wide (so they don't close when it bakes) holes to help vent steam.

9. 9

   Bake for 1 hour at 350°F, checking halfway through that your vents didn't close up.

10. 10

    Almost all of the topping should have a light golden brown appearance, and the edges should not give when pressed lightly.

11. 11

    For ease in serving, cool slightly and cut slices before spooning into bowls.

12. 12

    Top with your favorite ice cream and enjoy!
