If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze the cobbler. Wrap it well in aluminum foil or use a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Tips to Make Apple Cobbler
- Use a mix of apples for a deeper flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji apples all work well together.
- If you like a bit of crunch, you can add some oats or chopped nuts to the topping mix.
- Make sure to let the cobbler cool for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices settle and makes it easier to serve.
Variation
