Notes
To elevate your apple cobbler, mix different apple varieties for flavor complexity. You can also add spices like ginger or allspice. For a crunchy topping, consider adding oats or nuts. Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for a week. For longer storage, freeze before baking.
