can it be baked in 9×13 pan
What is minute tapioca
It is just a thickener. You can buy it in the grocery here.
I will certainly make this when I get home from camping where the oven is easier to get to!!!!! Looks delicious……
Could you use dried apples?
just made it itis awesome usedmy freash apples from my trees
Can I use corn starch instead of tapioca?
Yes, you could use cornstarch.
My dad would wit for the apple cobbler to come out of the oven and have a big slice of sharp cheddar to put on top of it. I love the cheese with mine, never thought of baking it in it.
i tried this today, without the cheese it was so good! first cobbler i ever made, will definitely make again. thanks!

That’s just awesome looking. I don’t even need ice cream, just a fork. Make it a spoon.
