- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

How to Make Amazing Apple Cobbler
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter in a 13x9 inch baking dish. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1/2 cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves completely. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup cold shortening (or vegetable shortening). Use a pastry blender or fork to cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add 3/4 cup milk, mixing with a fork until the dough just begins to come together.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth (about 1 minute).
- Roll out the dough into a 12x10 inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a large bowl, combine 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Toss to coat evenly.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log (like a jelly roll).
- Cut the log into 16 slices.
- Arrange the cobbler slices in the prepared baking dish over the melted butter.
- Carefully pour the sugar syrup over the cobbler slices.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the cobbler is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool for 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
