APPLE CINNAMON COBBLER

Category: Cobblers/Crumbles and Crisps

1 tbsp butter
3-4 Jonathan apples, peeled and sliced fairly thick
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon, more if desired
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp flour

Topping
1 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/4 tsp baking soda and cream of tartar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
6 tbsp butter
1/3 cup milk or cream
1 tsp sugar, for sprinkling

Butter a 9 inch square baking dish. Preheat the oven to 400. Place the apple slices in the buttered dish, and sprinkle with the maple syrup. Cover. Microwave on high for 5-7 minutes, to precook the apples. Now sprinkle them with the sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and flour. Set aside.

In food processor, blend together the flour, brown sugar, baking soda and cream of tartar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the butter in chunks and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the milk and process just until the dough can be pressed together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead several times by hand, the dough should be stiff. Pat or roll the dough and using a 2 inch cutter, cut out the biscuits and place on top, barely touching each other. Sprinkle with the sugar and bake in the center of the oven for 35-40 minutes. Let cool about 15 minutes before serving.
