Snickerdoodle Cobbler recipe could be the easiest way to cook an apple cobbler! Rich, buttery, soft, and sweet, this delicious dessert combines your favorite cinnamon-sugar cookie with a fruit filling and bakes it crowd-size.
Betty Crocker Snickerdoodle Apple Cobbler
Our apple Snickerdoodle Cobbler combines the convenience of a chewy snickerdoodle cookie mix with the taste of a homemade hot apple pie. It prepares it like an unconventional fruit-filled cobbler (because there’s both a top and bottom).
Imagine a cookie crust that sits below a sweet apple pie filling, where drops of dough bake on top until golden brown and bubbly. It’s a mouthwatering mash-up of cinnamon sugar cookies that meld with the fruit in the middle.
Customize your cobbler with your favorite canned pie filling flavors, then cook and serve warm with a drizzle of caramel sauce and a scoop of ice cream. Now you’ve created a deluxe Snickerdoodle dessert that’s absolutely delicious!
What Is A Cobbler
A classic cobbler is essentially a fruit-based (or sometimes savory) dessert baked with some kind of sweet topping but no bottom. Some are topped with a batter that bakes up like a cake, while others are topped with biscuit dough or pie dough.
Cobbler vs. Crisp
A cobbler, not to be confused with a fruit crisp, is made with a biscuit or cake-like layer (or, in this recipe, a cookie layer) baked on top of a fruity filling. A crisp, on the other hand, has a streusel-like topping with oats and often times nuts. Check out my Peach Crisp, Strawberry Crisp, and Apple Crisp recipes for a crunchy contrast to the soft fruit filling.
