This apple cobbler recipe from the Frugal Gourmet (Jeff Smith) series has always been my "go to" dessert when autumn weather makes me hungry for that great baked apple and raisin taste. The ingredient list includes items common in most kitchens and the recipe is comprised of four easy steps. This is great served with homemade whipped cream, yogurt or creme fraiche, my choice the last time I served it.

Sadly, Jeff Smith's cookbooks are not currently available new, but a pdf download of the recipe is available by clicking here.
