Southern Apple Cobbler

Teresa Ambra
Southern Apple Cobbler is one of those comfort food recipes that soothe every appetite. If you grew up eating a lot of "Down-Home" style food, this scrumptious apple dessert is all you could ask for. Add a dollop of ice cream and it's even better! This dessert is made in three layers: an apple layer, a topping layer, and a cinnamon-sugar layer sprinkled over top. Yum. Yum!
