Notes

Instead of using one kind of apple, feel free to mix a few different kinds!
You can use a food processor or your hands to cut the butter into the topping mixture.
Any oven friendly baking dish will work just fine for this cobbler.
You could also double this recipe and use a 9x13 baking dish.
