Super Fast Apple Cake/Cobbler


I'm not sure where my mom got this recipe from, but I've had it typed out on a crumpled piece of paper since college. It's really easy to make, especially if you need a last-minute dessert . It's closer to a cobbler, than cake, because the batter mostly stays on top, forming a biscuit-like crust. This isn't an overly sweet dessert, so add vanilla ice cream if you need the extra sugar rush. It ain't pretty looking, but your stomach won't care.

Recipe:
3 apples, peeled/cored and thickly sliced, sprinkled with lemon juice (I used 4 today, but if you prefer an even ratio of fruit and batter, use 3)
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
8 Tbsp butter, melted
1 cup flour
1 egg, beaten














Preheat oven to350. Arrange apples in 9-inch pan. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Melt butter and mix with flour, sugar (except 2 Tbsp) and egg. Spread over apples. Sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake for 40-45 minutes.

  4. Jene, this is delightful! They didn't have frozen vanilla yogurt at the store (thanks, Queens) so I served it with a spoon full of regular, non-frozen Dannon Natural Vanilla Yogurt. Delish!
