My Apple Cinnamon cobbler is based on these canned apples
Cinnamon sugar apples or apple pie filling are a must have for your pantry.
The cinnamon sugar apples are so versatile for so many baking project, like apple crumble, apple crisp, apple cobbler, and a wholesome hot apple and cinnamon snack.
This recipe will make enough for about 6-8 large jars.
I store my jars in my canning room, and they last a nice long time, thru the canning season and winter months when the urge to make a pie hits you!

Note
I have a confession.
I say these are for baking a pie or cobbler.
But the truth is, I like to sit down with a jar and eat them with a fork during my favorite podcast .
Really good over vanilla bean ice cream!
