This Easy Apple Cobbler is made with just 6 ingredients and oven-ready in under 5 minutes. Delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
I think I’m finally starting to understand how it happens. How EVERY YEAR I nearly miss apple picking, or find that by the time I finally make it to the orchard, there are no more apples on the trees. Because it’s already nearing the end of September, and it’s still HOT outside! We’re still wearing shorts and sandals and totally not thinking about apples.
What we are thinking about? Soccer! And birthday parties. And the friends who are coming to town next weekend. And the fact that every. single. weekend in October is booked!!! So even if we were thinking about apples, it really wouldn’t matter. Because apparently we’re too busy for apple picking. Or so our calendar would say.
But, like every year, I’m going to do my darnedest to make it happen. Even if we have to pick the apples out of a bushel on the ground (yes….we’ve definitely done that). But until we get there….this Easy Apple Cobbler is going to be my favorite apple recipe. Because it starts with a can of apple pie filling! Which makes it quick, easy, and sooo delicious!
Now I just want to say – for those of you who are anti-pie filling – I get it! When apples are in season, you want to use fresh apples. And…you can! You can 100% make your own homemade pie filling. It’s just that, if your schedule is anything like ours is, you want quick. You need quick! And you need easy. You need the can.
Either way, I can guarantee that you’re going to love this cobbler. It couldn’t be easier to make or more perfect for fall. From one busy person to another, you’re welcome!

Mary says
This sounds such fun that I will have to make it. I always have Apple Pie Filling in the Freezer (I bake Apple slices with spices etc in a casserole alongside whatever may be in the oven, cool then bag up and freeze) so this would be a breeze to prepare. Thankyou for a fun recipe!
Cathy Trochelman says
What a great idea, Mary! I hope you enjoy this cobbler!
Bethany says
Just to confirm- You pour the flour mixture over the melted butter, and then pour the canned apple pie filling over that. Not mixing any of it. Correct?
Cathy Trochelman says
Hi Bethany, sorry I missed this! Yes – just be sure to spread it out in the pan but it doesn’t need to be mixed. Thanks!
Deb says
How much butter is in a stick? I am from Australia and our butter comes in 250gram and 500gram packs. I think I used too much butter!
Gayle says
8 tablespoons
Kris says
Can you make it ahead of time?
Cathy Trochelman says
If you want to make it in advance, I would bake it and then just pop it into the oven to reheat before serving.
belinda says
I stick is 1 half cup
verna pfoutz says
the crust didn’t rise over the apples ,it just was a unbaked layer under the apples, the butter was a wet layer
on top of the apples.won’t be making this again. followed the directions.what a waste of time and ingredients.
Carole Burnette says
Did you use self rising flour?
Pam says
I used bisquik flour because i didnt have self rising flour. My butter was sitting on top.
Erica says
Making currently with self rising flour, my butter is also coming on top
Keira says
I used self-rising and it did not rise up. Also turned a weird gray color and was rubbery. Followed directions exactly.
Lorraine says
I don’t know, 1 cup of sugar sounds like an awful lot to pie filling. jmo
Suzanne says
I had the same thing happen but I think it was because I tried to make it in an 8 x 8 pan. Looks like it needs more of a 9 x 13 pan.
