Apple Cobbler

A modest member of the large family of apple-based desserts, apple cobbler is a simplified version of a pie invented by American pioneers during the 19th century. The name cobbler was derived from the word cobbled, meaning roughly put together – apples on bottom, crust on top, or the other way around, depending on the recipe. As a dessert which marks the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, apple cobbler is usually seasoned with cinnamon and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
