APPLE COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt 1/2 stick butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and cook, swirling pan occasionally, until butter is golden brown and fragrant, about 8 minutes; let cool. Toss together apples and lemon juice in a large bowl. Combine 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla-bean seeds in another bowl, breaking up clumps and combining with a fork or fingers. Add browned butter to apples. Stir in flour mixture.
• Transfer apple mixture to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, cover tightly with parchment-lined foil. Place a parchment-lined baking sheet on bottom rack of oven to catch juices. Bake apples on middle rack directly over the baking sheet, 10 minutes. Remove and discard parchment-lined foil.
• Whisk remaining 2 cups flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Cut remaining 1 stick butter into flour mixture using a pastry blender or 2 knives to form clumps that are no larger than small peas. Add cream to flour mixture; stir until a soft, sticky dough forms. Divide dough into 10 equal pieces; arrange over filling. Brush dough with cream, and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
• Return cobbler to oven on middle rack directly over the baking sheet until topping is golden brown and juices are bubbling, about 55 to 65 minutes. If topping is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil. Let cool 20 minutes on a wire rack before serving.

MOM'S APPLE COBBLER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in a 13x9x2 inch baking dish ( I prefer to use a glass one). Cut shortening into flour until particles resemble fine crumbs. Add milk and stir with a fork only until dough leaves the side of the bowl. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured board or pastry cloth, and knead just until smooth. Roll dough out into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch think. Sprinkle cinnamon over chopped apples, then sprinkle apples evenly over the dough. Roll up dough like a jelly roll and dampen the edges with water to seal. Slice dough into about 16 slices, 1/2 inch thick. Place slices in baking dish with the melted butter. In saucepan, heat water and sugar until dissolved. Pour the sugar syrup around the rolls. This will look like too much liquid, but dough will absorb it while baking. Bake for 55-60 minutes.
• VARIATION: This cobbler can also be made with other fresh, frozen, or canned fruits such as blackberries, cherries, or peaches. If the fruit is packed in liquid, drain and substitute for part of the water in the sugar syrup. Add enough water to make two cups of liquid.
