Apple Cobbler w/ Whiskey & Eggnog
Nothing when it comes to apple cobbler is actually traditional. It's more of an apple pie substitute that uses biscuit dough, which is meant to look a bit like cobblestones. Nevertheless, this quick and easy apple cobbler recipe is sure to please during the holidays! I soaked the apples in whiskey and made the batter with eggnog for a little bit more of a festive kick.

Instructions
Filling

- Add apples, brown sugar, apple juice, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt (all of the filling ingredients) to aa large saucepan.
- Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook until the liquid reduces, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Pour apples into the baking dish and set aside.
Batter
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix in milk and melted butter until just combined.
- Spread over the apple mixture and sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon on top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes.This cooks like a cake and is done when the batter is set and a toothpick comes out cleanly.
- Let cool slightly and serve immediately. Cobbler is great warm with a scoop of ice cream or even chilled the next day.
Tips, Tricks, & Notes
- Any kind of baking apple will do. Gala, honeycrisp, pink ladies, and granny smith are always nice. Although any firmer apple is fine! Something like a fuji will disintegrate, though.
