Cornbread Apple Cobbler

Ingredients

5 large firm apples, peeled, cored and sliced (Golden Delicious, Gala)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup dark rum
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Cornbread topping

1 package golden corn muffin and bread mix
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 egg

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Grease an 8-inch round or square baking dish. Melt the butter in a skillet. Add the apples, brown sugar, rum, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. Stir gently with a wooden spoon cooking the apples until just tender. Pour the apple mixture into a baking dish.

For the topping, place contents of one package of cornbread mix into a medium-size bowl. Add the milk, butter and egg. Spoon the cornbread mixture on top of the apples, covering them completely.

Bake the cobbler 20-25 minutes or until the cornbread crust is golden brown and cooked through.
