Can I use pre-made apple pie filling?

Yes, totally! A pre-made or store bought apple pie filling should work perfectly here. You would just skip all the steps up until placing the apple pie filling in the dish. After that, everything else should be the same.

What apples should I use for this recipe?

I always use honey crisp apples! They are my favorite apple to both eat and bake with. But I think you could pretty much use whichever apples you'd like. Gala would be another great option. Or you could even use more tart apples, like granny smith apples!

How to serve this recipe?

I recommend serving this recipe hot and fresh out of the oven. The dish will be perfectly bubbling and browned! Add a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of your serving and it will truly be the perfect fall dessert.

How to best store this recipe?

The best way to store this recipe is in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should last about 5 days!

Ingredients

Scale

Apple Pie Filling

4 apples, peeled & chopped
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Cornstarch Slurry

1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water

Cobbler Topping

1 tube crescent roll dough
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tsp light brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Heat oven to 375 degrees.
Then add the fresh apples, butter, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to a large pot on the stove over medium heat.
Combine and let simmer for a few minutes until the apples are soft, but not mushy.
Then combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl for the cornstarch slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the apple mixture. Combine. Let simmer and allow the apple pie filling to thicken.
Then remove the apple mixture from the heat and transfer to a prepared large baking dish. Spread evenly.
Top the apples in the dish with the crescent roll dough. You may need to trim and cut the sheet slightly to fit the exact size of your dish.
Next in a small bowl combine the topping ingredients – melted butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
Spread the butter and cinnamon sugar mixture evenly on top of the crescent dough.
Then cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 15-20 minutes. The dough should be fully cooked through and golden brown on top. The top may look burnt, but it is just the dark color from the cinnamon.
Remove from the oven, top with a scoop of ice cream, and enjoy!
