Apple Cobblers, Crisps, and Apple Pan Dowdy

Apple Cobblers, Crips, and Apple Pan Dowdys are very similar in nature as they have a base of apples, normally mixed with a sweet, sugary syrup – that more than likely has cinnamon in it, and topped with a flour-based streusel topping. Some of the toppings are more biscuit-like in texture, other batters have a wetter consistency, allowing for an even top. Here are some of our top cobbler and crisp recipes.
