Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Snickerdoodle Dough
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Add Apple Filling: Spread the apple pie filling evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Top with Dough: Drop spoonfuls of the snickerdoodle dough over the apple pie filling. Try to cover the filling as much as possible, but it’s okay if some apple filling is visible.

- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the snickerdoodle topping is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Add Caramel Topping
- Drizzle Caramel: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the caramel topping evenly over the top of the cobbler.
Step 5: Serve
- Serve Warm: Serve the snickerdoodle cobbler warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
