❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
This cobbler is so easy and the addition of a snickerdoodle cookie mix takes this dessert to the next level. Simple to make and a wonderful treat anytime. You can top it with ice cream or whipped topping. My family loved this one and yours will too!
🍴KEY INGREDIENTS
- Medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and sliced.
- Brown sugar
- Cinnamon
- Nutmeg
- Snickerdoodle cookie mix (I used Betty Crocker)
- Butter, cut into pieces
- Confectioners sugar
- Whipping cream
SWAPS
You can use just about any baking apple for this recipe. Gala, Fuji, and Honeycrisp all work well. We only used half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture packet that comes with the cookie mix for this recipe.
This dessert is really easy to throw together; the hardest part is cutting up the apples.

⭐TIP
You can use all of the Snickerdoodle cookie topping if you like. Since we tossed the apples in spices, we didn’t feel the need to overdo it, but you are welcome to use it.
RECIPE VARIATIONS
You can add pecans to this if you want and you can also leave the glaze off, however I do think it adds to the cobbler. If you love cobblers, you may also love or Deep Dish Blackberry cobbler; it’s an old-fashioned classic!
STORING AND REHEATING
I store in a cake container or just a Tupperware container. I do like it warm, so will reheat it in the microwave for 10 seconds.

I also added 1 stick of butter on top of apples. Everyone loved it.
Hi
What is the difference of using 1 stick of butter or a 1/2 cup of butter?
There isn’t. It says “one stick of butter OR half a cup.” If you buy butter in sticks, you would use one stick. If you buy butter in a tub, you would measure out half a cup. Hopefully that helps you. Thanks!
A question for the cinnamon sugar mixture that comes in the pkg. Why not use the whole thing or is there another use for the other half?
Go ahead and use all of it if you like, we tossed the apples in spices and just felt like half was enough, I am sure it will be fine with all of it.

What does she mean by “Snicker doodle cookie mix? I only know 1 way to make Snicker Doodles….By scratch! I’ve also not seen a cookie mix in the grocery store for it. Am I missing something?
It’s made by Betty Crocker and many other brands. Just google it to see what it looks like.
It’s in a plastic type bag with all the other cake and cookie mixes. I bought some at Walmart.
Just curious, can you use canned apple pie filling instead of using fresh apples?
I’m sure you could, but you may have to adjust the cooking time since it will add more moisture.
