Cinnamon, sugar and apples are about as autumnal as a dessert can get. So why not combine everyone’s favorite cinnamon-sugar cookie, snickerdoodles, with apple cobbler? That was the thought that inspired this easy, crowd-size dessert, and thanks to the Betty Crocker Test Kitchens, this mashup works like a charm. The cookie dough crust bakes up cobbler style with a slight chewy top, fluffy center and a perfectly caramely bottom where the spiced apple mixture melds with the crust. So, you end up with deluxe apple cobbler topped with a snickerdoodle cookie crust. The only thing this dessert for 12 really needs is a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! Serve this warm from the oven, so your ice cream gets a little bit melty, and don’t be surprised if someone tries to lick their plate clean.

This classic recipe has been loved for nearly 70 years. It was first introduced in Betty Crocker’s Picture Cook Book in 1956 as a scratch cake. In 2000 we updated it to use Betty Crocker’s Super Moist Cake Mix where it debuted in the Ultimate Cake Mix Cookbook. Pineapple upside-down cake is as versatile as it is delicious and always a crowd-pleaser. Whether served at a cozy brunch, a baby shower, or as the centerpiece of a celebration, this cheery dessert is sure to add joy to any moment.

Easy elegance is what this dessert is all about. Dark, sweet cherries get baked under an almond-sugar cookie crust and served with a warm vanilla cream sauce for a cobbler that brings the best of summer to the table, any time of the year. That’s right, this recipe is made with frozen sweet cherries and utilizes a couple of other clever shortcuts—the “easy” part! There’s no pitting involved when you use frozen cherries and the sugar cookie crust starts with Betty’s quick mix. Folding cream cheese and chopped almonds into the sugar cookie dough makes them extra moist and flavorful, but the best part is that this crust doesn’t need to be rolled out. Just drop balls of cookie dough on top of the cherries, and you’ll be ready to bake. There’s always time for dessert with this recipe at the ready!
