I love making apple cobbler ahead of time but do not like the crust when it is frozen. I recently had to make enough dessert for 90 people, so we decided apple cobbler would be great. I sliced about 8 apples, added lemon juice, one cup of sugar, one tablespoon of flour and one tablespoon of cinnamon, and place on a lined 9 x 12 metal pan. I wrap in non-stick plastic wrap and place in the freezer until solid. When you are ready to make the cobbler, you can take the apples out, make a double King Arthur pie crust recipe, and using a 9 x 13 casserole dish, place one layer of pastry on the bottom, add the apples (no need to thaw), and then lay strips of dough across the top. Bake at 375° for 60 minutes. Scoop into cups, add a dollop of cinnamon whipped cream, toasted chopped pecans and Ghirardelli caramel sauce. Success! I now keep a bag of frozen filling in the freezer, ready for baking.
