We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

  • Step 2: To make filing: In a bowl combine all filling ingredients (apples - butter) and toss. Transfer to a 3 quart baking dish.

  • Step 3: To make topping and to assemble: In a food processor add the dry ingredients (polenta -sugar) and pulse to combine. Add butter and pulse until pieces are about the size of peas and then transfer mixture to a bowl and form a well in center of mixture. Add 1 cup cream to center and mix with spoon until a dough forms.

  • Step 4: Transfer dough to floured worksurface and knead until it comes together and pat it out into a 14 x 4 inch rectangle and roll or pat it until it is 1/2 inch thick. Cut in half lengthwise and cut each strip crosswise so you have 6 equal pieces or biscuits.

  • Step 5: Arrange the biscuits over the fruit filling, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart. Brush biscuits with cream and sprinkle with sugar.

  • Step 6: Bake for 40-50 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown and filling is bubbling. Transfer to wire rack and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. ***Cobbler can be made 6 hours ahead; let cool and store covered at room temperature.
