Flaky Apple Biscuit Cobbler served with cinnamon whipped cream. You won’t want cobbler any other way after you make this.

Apple Biscuit Cobbler 01

*Yes, this post was sponsored by the wonderful butter makers… Plugrá European-Style Butter. A butter I have always used and a company I have a long standing relationship with. All the words and opinions and atrocious grammar are all mine.


Growing up my parents always had people over or we were always going over to someone else’s house.

They threw parties, had game nights (usually cards), and found just about any reason to get together.

People just don’t seem to do that anymore.

And the dinner party?

I can’t remember the last time I was invited to one of those.

So I was really excited when I joined the Plugra Butter Brigade years back because you were asked to throw a dinner party each year.

Okay, twist my arm.

Last year’s dinner party was definitely more upscale so to speak (Surf and Turf) and I found it made people a little uncomfortable.

They were worried how to dress, how to act, etc.

So this year I decided to throw a more casual dinner party.

I think we need more casual dinner parties to get people back in the swing of just having people over.

Dinner party planning is fun, well at least to me.

I love picking a theme and planning a menu around it.

If you need ideas, Plugra Gourmet Club has quite a few to get you started.

Or you can browse their hundreds, and hundreds of recipes to get ideas.

This dessert is one I don’t make often.

Not because it’s isn’t amazing.

But because I eat it all.

Most apple desserts I have very little control over when it comes to eating it all.

Since I was having 5 people total eating it, I was hoping I wouldn’t end up eating the whole thing. 🙂

Which I didn’t since they all ate it.

Apple Biscuit Cobbler 02

This Apple Biscuit Cobbler is weird.

The first time I tried it this was I was like pour sugar water over it?

The fruit fell out of the biscuit (still does).

The dough was floating and I thought to myself what a freaking disaster.

And yet it turned out fantastic and this is my favorite way to make cobbler.

Of course you are going to want to make this with Plugra European Style Butter.

This recipe has few ingredients and so you are going to want quality.

P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!

  6. In a food processor pulse together flour and the cut up butter until mixture resembles fine meal.

  9. Scatter apple mixture evenly over top of dough.
  10. Beginning with a long side roll up dough jelly-roll fashion and cut into 1 1/2-inch thick slices. (Slices will come apart and be messy).

  12. Pour sugar syrup over slices, soaking dough, and bake cobble in middle of oven 45 minutes.
  13. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar or sugar crystals (whatever you are using) over cobbler and bake 15 minutes more, or until golden.

  1. I really miss entertaining. The current place has so little space that it isn’t practical to have people over. Hopefully we will be changing abodes soon, and having the space to entertain is high on my wishlist.

  2. I wouldn’t even know what to do at a dinner party. I mean… do you only have people over and eat food? Or what do you do? IDK.

  3. Things like this and shortbread are definitely times when I noticed the difference when uses quality versus regular old butter. As for dinner parties and game nights, I used to rotate hosting such things with a group of friends my first couple years of grad school but it slowly died. It makes me sad. Nowadays I settle for weekly/biweekly get togethers with one of my friends where we cook together and then watch a tv series or movie. I love it but I admit I am itching to plan a dinner party menu. Hooray for football season and fall on the horizon!

  4. Dinner Parties are awesome. You have to have the right mix of people. Not all introverts not all extroverts.

    I have found that the easiest parties happen to be a late Sunday lunch between 2-4. It is more relaxing, and if you have kids – it will get people out of the house in time for you to start the evening bedtime routine.

  11. My parents entertained often or went to theirs friends too. We don’t but we also live in a tiny apartment, it’s just easier to go out then do something in. This cobbler though looks like an excuse to have friends over!
