Snickerdoodle Apple Cobbler

I love making different cookies and quick breads but I seem to get in a bit of a rut when it comes to desserts. I tend to make apple crisp, Coca Cola Cake, peach cobbler and a few other favorites over and over again. Last night we had friends over for dinner and I wanted to try something new. Maybe an apple cobbler?

Since we are having the most glorious fall that I can remember in Calgary, I wanted to make something with traditional Fall flavors but I wasn’t sure about going the pumpkin route. I’ve found that people either love or hate pumpkin with no in between.

Off to Pinterest I galloped. I found a delicious looking recipe for Snickerdoodle Apple Cobbler from Crazy for Crust. I loved the idea of apples covered in a sugar cookie crust. Yum. Unfortunately, my desire for an easy recipe didn’t love her steps. So, as I often do, I decided to try it my way. It worked out beautifully and our guests raved. This is going to be in my new rotation for sure. Delicious!
