Michelle Obama’s Apple Cobbler

Ingredients

Filling

  • 8 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced (or a bag of frozen peeled apples)

  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups of brown sugar

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose white flour

Crust

  • 3 sheets refrigerated pie crust

  • 1 stick of butter

Preparation

  1. Mix the filling ingredients together in a large bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator overnight so the spice goes all the way through the apples.

  2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

  3. Butter and flour the bottom of a large baking dish.

  4. Roll out three pie crusts real thin — as thin as possible and cut to fit the shape of the baking dish. Layer the bottom of the dish with 1 1/2 of the pie crusts and prick a few holes in it. Pour the apples with the liquid into the baking dish. Dot 3/4 of a stick of butter around the apples. Use the final 1 1/2 pie crusts to cover the apple mixture entirely.

  5. Melt the final 1/4 stick of butter and brush all over the top of the crust.

  6. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees. Bake at 300 for 2.5 to 3 hours — that’s what makes the crust flaky as Barack likes it. Put the cobbler in the oven and go for a walk, go to the store, or do whatever you have to do around the house. Start looking at the cobbler after two hours to ensure doesn’t burn. Serve anytime.
