I created this recipe to use our homegrown frozen apples, but fresh apples could also be used. The warm cinnamon apple layer of this cobbler is moist and juicy, but not sloppy, and the topping has a sweet cinnamon crunch that kind of reminds me of my mother's cinnamon toast. It's easy to make, and so delicious! It's the perfect Autumn dessert.
