Ingredients

2 21-ounce cans apple pie filling
½ cup caramel sauce
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt

Cobbler Topping

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter melted
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Finish

½ cup caramel sauce
Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, stir together the apple pie filling, ½ cup caramel sauce, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until evenly combined.
Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Stir in the melted butter, milk, and vanilla just until combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon the batter evenly over the apple filling. It does not need to completely cover the apples.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbling around the edges.
Let the cobbler cool for 10–15 minutes.
Warm the remaining ½ cup caramel sauce slightly and drizzle it generously over the cobbler just before serving.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.

Notes

Warming the caramel sauce makes it much easier to drizzle.
Let the cobbler rest before serving so the filling thickens slightly.
Use a good-quality refrigerated caramel sauce for the richest flavor.
Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the caramel drizzle for a salted caramel version.
This dessert is best served warm.

Storage

Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 30–45 seconds or warm in a 300°F oven.
Freeze tightly wrapped for up to 2 months.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
