• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Lightly grease an 8x11" or 9x9" baking dish.
• Add apples, sugar, flour and cinnamon to the baking dish and stir to coat evenly. Set aside.
  8 cups peeled and chopped apples, ½ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Cobbler

• In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  1 cup all purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt
• Add the butter and cut in until pea-sized chunks form. Add buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time, just until cobbler dough holds together (you don't want it too wet!).
  ¼ cup cold butter, 3-4 tablespoons low fat buttermilk
• Drop cobbler dough over the apples in the baking dish by rounded tablespoons, leaving space for it to expand. If desired, sprinkle the dough with a little granulated sugar to crisp the tops.
  sugar for sprinkling if desired
• Bake, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes, until the filling is thickened and bubbly and the cobbler is light golden brown. If top has browned but apples are not saucy and bubbly yet, cover with foil and continue baking 10 more minutes. Drizzle with additional caramel sauce while serving if desired.
