Heirloom Recipe for Apple Cobbler
This recipe is from my grandmother, one of the best southern cooks around. She never used a recipe, so this is rather vague. She’d say things like “butter the size of an egg”, which I suspect is the case in this one.
About 4 cups of apples
1-1/2 cup sugar
Butter (the size of an egg?)
Biscuit dough
1-1/2 to 2 cups boiling water
Peel and cut apples. In deep pot put a layer of rolled out dough, half of apples and 3/4 cup sugar. Put strips of dough on top of this and dot with butter. Layer rest of apples, 3/4 cup sugar, some butter and boiling water. Top with more strips of dough dotted with butter. Bake at 350°.
