Sugar-Crusted Apple Cobbler
"From crisp to dumplings to pie, apples are the star of the autumn baking show. This apple cobbler is designed to show off the pure flavors of fresh in-season apples. Its cake-style topping with a sugar crust is the perfect complement to the soft, juicy baked apples beneath. And while we prefer the dish with unadulterated apples during the season, in winter a little lemon juice or boiled cider (and perhaps some cinnamon) is just what you need to brighten your apples’ mellower flavors...."
