Notes
Cover with foil or store in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. To reheat, cover with aluminum foil and place in a 325 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
For the best texture in every bite, slice your apples as thin and evenly as possible. Aim for about ¼-inch thick slices. Uniform slices ensure the apples cook at the same rate, so you won't end up with a mix of mushy and undercooked pieces in your cobbler. A mandoline slicer can help you get consistent, thin slices quickly, but a sharp knife and a little patience will also do the trick!
