Liberty Tree Tavern ~ Apple Cobbler

Tweet

Since it's fall and the Food & Wine Festival is going on right now in Epcot, I thought I'd share a dessert that's been on my mind a lot lately. The warm Apple Cobbler from The Liberty Tree Tavern in The Magic Kingdom. It is most definitely a happy food! Pictures below is the way Liberty Tree Tavern serves this recipe. Large scoops of vanilla ice cream almost melting, next to the apple cobbler. If you ask them for the recipe it will include a cream cheese filling (as seen here on AllEars) which I find interesting since it's served this way. Personally I like it without cream cheese.

Magic Kingdom, Liberty Tree Tavern ~ Apple Cobbler 

Preheat oven to 300º degrees.

Pie Crust Dough:
3 ½ cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter cut into ¼ inch pieces
4 tablespoons Crisco (or substitute: margarine (1 cup shortening = 1 cup + 2 tablespoons margarine)
Sift the flour, sugar, and salt into a large bowl. Using your fingers (I cut it in with a pastry knife) work in the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons ice water and work with your fingers until the water is incorporated and the dough comes together. Add more water if needed.

Spray the inside of a 9x13x2 inch glass or ceramic baking dish with a
non-stick coating (I use Baker's Joy). Roll out pie dough on a lightly floured surface (I use a cold marble slab) and line the baking dish with dough (as for an apple pie)

Apple Filling:
4 pounds Baking Apples – Golden Delicious
½ cup Sugar
1 ½ cups Brown sugar
½ teaspoon Nutmeg – ground
½ cup Flour

Sift dry ingredients together. Put apples in a small saucepan and cook
over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add dry ingredients and cook until
apples are soft and ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Remove apples
from heat and chill thoroughly. Place cooled apple filling into dish.


Oatmeal Streusel:
¾ cup All –purpose flour
½ teaspoon Cinnamon – ground
½ cup Brown Sugar – packed
¾ cup Rolled Oats
½ cup Butter – Unsalted

Spread streusel mixture evenly over top of apple mixture.
Bake in center of oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
