I started out to create a pie and quickly remembered that I don't like to make pie crust! So when all was complete I decided I had a cobbler. This is not too sweet but is rich and spiced. I also have posted my Honey Butter Rum Sauce to be served on the side if you feel particularly decadent some day! I decided that some almond would be good with the apples so you will find a dash in both the filling and the crust. I love the hint of flavor that it lends! Do not let the long ingredient list discourage you from trying this. This goes together easily.
