Vegan Cranberry Apple Cobbler Recipe (Easy with Refrigerated Biscuits!)

Don’t you love fall flavors? I can never get enough of the apple desserts in fall. Usually, I’m all about apple crisp, but this dairy-free cranberry apple cobbler has serious appeal. Have you ever had a pie with cranberries and apples? The combination is AMAZING! This cobbler offers the same deliciousness as a pie, but is much less fussy and quite quick to pull together.

This Biscuit-style Apple Cranberry Cobbler recipe with photo and video was shared with us by Culinary.net, but it has been slightly adapted.

Cranberry Apple Cobbler made Easy with Refrigerated Biscuits

This is a shortcut recipe that uses dairy-free refrigerated biscuits, but you can use homemade biscuits if you prefer. I have dairy-free options for both listed below.

Dairy-Free Refrigerated Biscuit Dough

This is another one of those surprisingly dairy-free things. Not all, but many refrigerated biscuit dough brands are actually vegan-friendly. At last check, all of these were made without any milk ingredients.

• Annie’s Organic Flaky Biscuits (contains wheat)*
• Immaculate Organic Flaky Biscuits (contains wheat)*
• Pillsbury Buttermilk Flaky Layers Biscuits (contains wheat and soy)*
• Pillsbury Original Southern Homestyle Biscuits (contains wheat and soy)*
• Walmart Great Value Buttermilk Biscuits (contains wheat and soy)*
• Walmart Great Value Homestyle Biscuits (contains wheat and soy)*

*These may be made on shared equipment with milk-containing ingredients, so be sure to verify their allergen protocols, if needed. Only you can decide if a product is safe for your needs. Although some of these have “buttermilk” in their names, there is no buttermilk in the recipes.

Homemade Dairy-Free Biscuit Dough

Of course, you don’t have to use store-bought. Homemade biscuit dough is actually quite easy in its own right. All of the following recipes are dairy free, too.
