Day 5: Green Chile Apple Cobbler

Green Chile may seem weird in a dessert, but trust me...they are a perfect companion for apples. The vanilla ice cream cools the heat from the chiles for a truly delectable dessert! This is great for a small dinner party as the cobblers can be assembled in advance and kept in the fridge until ready to bake.

For the filling:

3 apples, peeled and chopped

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup green chile

1/2 tsp cider vinegar

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp salt

1/8 tsp allspice

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp lime zest

1/8 tsp salt

1/8 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, chilled and cubed

1 Tbsp milk

Method:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 4 ramekins (3-4oz) with butter. Combine all ingredients for the filling and mix well. Spoon filling into prepared ramekins. To make the topping, combine sugar, flour, zest, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl and mix well. Cut in the butter until crumbly (use your hands). Stir in the milk. Spoon topping over prepared filling and pack firmly. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until brown and bubbly. Top each cobbler with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
