Apple Cobbler with Brandied Fruit

5th January, 2010 - Posted by Scott - No Comments

This has quickly become the new favorite dessert in our house, surpassing even my New York style cheesecake.  Peeling and slicing all of the apples can be time consuming, but overall it is a fairly simple. As the apples bake the released juices form a nice syrup in the bottom of the pan that is great over vanilla ice cream.

Give it a try and let me know what you think.  As always, be safe and eat well.

Filling:

12 large baking apples.
1/2c dried fruit.  Lately I’ve been using zante currants and dried cranberries.
1/2c brandy.
1c demerara sugar.
2T apple pie spice.
2T lemon juice.

Topping:

1c Oatmeal.  I have had no issue with Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Oats.
1 stick butter.
1/2c brown sugar.
2T gluten free flour.

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Lightly grease a 9×13″ pan.
2.  In a small bowl, combine the topping ingredients and mix until they resemble large coarse crumbs.
3.  In a large bowl mix everything but the apples and set aside.
4.  Core, peel, and slice the apples 1/4″ thick.
5.  Toss apples well with the sugar, fruit, and brand mixture.
6.  Spoon into the baking pan and cover with topping.
7.  Bake until the apples are tender, about 30-45 minutes.
8.  Serve immediately and enjoy.
