Apple Cider Doughnut Cobbler

One of a kind Apple Cider Doughnut Cobbler ~ it's apple cobbler meets cider doughnuts for the most creative new fall dessert!

Some of you have been with me for a while and know to trust me when I tell you a recipe is really really good, and I’ll tell you what ~ this apple cider doughnut cobbler is the best! This fall dessert is a mashup between an apple cobbler and the most iconic Fall recipe ever: apple cider doughnuts! Only instead of baking up the dough in my doughnut pan, I dollop it over a classic cobbler filling and bake until puffed and golden. I brush liberally with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar just like your favorites from the apple orchard or hay ride. Sink a big spoon right in and give it a taste, I think you’ll be pleased.
