Apologies for the graphic card after the opening intro-it’s from the Apple Crisp recipe. We accidentally uploaded the placeholder. Please refer to the description for the correct recipe ingredient list. If you’ve gathered the ingredients for Apple Crisp, feel free to check out our last video and give that recipe a try!

[@PorterCollins612]

Maybe that’s my sign to make the apple crisp again!

[@bobbiejohutton-campbell5668]

Turned out wonderfully! Thanks. Also where did you find your hot plate trivet from? Just love it!,,😅 Blessings to you and yours. Bobbie

[@brettyokum7473]

I thought I was losing my mind for a sec 💀😭. No worries

[@jellicajanesebastian2532]

Please make Dubai Fix Chocolate 🙏

[@briansavage932]

Unforgivable!!! 😂

[@itzSAnDrA1]

The "VERDICT: MMM" alwaaays gets me! hahaha I love it

[@savannamm]

The video doesn't feel complete without the MMM

[@summerjohnson9929]

I’d love a video where Claire makes traditional fall/halloween treats like: Popcorn balls, apple fritters, or candy/caramel apples! I’m 100% in fall, spooky season, and that means my favorite fall foods!

[@janessaaaaaa]

Claire!!!! The ingredient list in the beginning of the video is incorrect. I believe it’s from your last video which was the Caramel Apple Crisp. Nevertheless, can’t wait to watch the video! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Page5framing]

Yep. Thats wrong for sure.

[@asqwert2121]

Oof that's a re-upload

[@MarquesAllenJones]

A tip I've started using for biscuits is to load the dry ingredients into a food processor and add the frozen butter cut into about 4 chunks and blast it for just a few seconds. has been so much better for me than using a box grater. obviously requires a food processor (and a pretty large one for a full batch), but it has been worth it.

[@TheDingledong4lyfe]

On my to-do list for today I had "watch the most perfect recipe ever" written down. Thank you for helping me stay on schedule, Claire.

[@ajchapeliere]

I really do like that step of massaging the zest and sugar. I've gotten into the habit of keeping jars of citrus sugar around, particularly Meyer lemon if it's available. 100g of sugar and the zest of one orange or good-sized lemon gets you something around the consistency of brown sugar and it's great for fillings. Made the most recent batch using the silicon-edged paddle on my mixer and it worked out nicely.

[@nathanielmarc]

Looks like the ingredients card is wrong at the start, but is correct in the description. Looking forward to seeing the recipe as the video unfolds, wanted to say it before I forgot!

[@Rodviet]

It looks delicious! Claire is my comfort person. I send my mom clips of her kitties every time they come on the screen and she says it's like ASMR for her lol.

[@quentinmartiny1615]

Thank you for making these - real comfort to watch even when i never make the recipes. You and the team really found a good formula. Hope you still enjoy making them because I’ll keep watching :)

[@sidhedanu]

I've been making tons of cobbler lately, but the "mountain pudding" kind like my grandma made with the blackberries we picked when I was a kid. The batter is basically liquid and rises up over the fruit.

[@tnate6004]

I grate butter for my pie crusts so I appreciate the hack about rolling the stick in flour - makes perfect sense.

[@sarahpoe.]

i looooove berry cobler! i went plant based a few yrs ago but i still love watching youre videos. I think youre one of the coolest ppl bc you made your outdoor oven all by yourself. super empowering!

[@nontwins]

I’m so early omg. I’ve made two of your recipes in a week and my god I’m obsessed. Gonna get dessert person to make more!! Made the kouign amann which is my absolute favorite pastry in the whole world and for my first go I’m super impressed. Also made the sticky buns with pecans and cashews for family friends and everyone loved them. Thanks Claire for awakening my love of baking again. Haven’t been this excited to bake since I was 12 lol

[@summerjohnson9929]

Oh! And a pumpkin episode where Claire makes the best pumpkin cookie, best pumpkin muffin, and best pumpkin dessert overall (in her opinion) or a scone.

[@harriets_clovercoffee]

Currently having your apple crisp for breakfast! 🧡🧡

[@cartagenamariel7503]

You have no idea how much I appreciate measurements in grams. So... Thank you!!!!

[@manuelatauscher6132]

your cat meowing in the background is so cute

[@tracymyers9771]

Yay! New recipe of Claire's to try tomorrow!

[@harrismayer-selinger204]

Straight cream is a brilliant idea!

[@OceanBagel]

I made a version of this recipe based on your peach cobbler recipe from a few years ago, and one of the problems I had with that recipe was that the biscuits actually sank in the blueberries. I think I cooked the blueberries before putting them into the dish so that might be why. Next time I try it, I'll try using fresh berries and just let them cook in the oven.

[@elizabethpostmusgrove102]

Just a note that using frozen fruit will make it take significantly longer. I recommend using a dish that’s not as deep with the frozen fruit because the middle takes so long to cook. It took well over an hour and I had to cover to make sure the biscuits didn’t burn.

[@visa8197]

I love her peach cobbler, planning to make it for my birthday.

[@elsafischer3247]

Thank you I’m going to the supermarket to buy the berries. Greetings from Switzerland

[@EatCarbs]

I wish I had a dish of that in front of me. Thanks for the video

[@Louback33]

Ok, I know what i want for my bday dessert now! Thanks for the inspiration. Going to try to veganize it

[@NikaRunsAndBakes]

It should be straightforward 1:1 swaps!

[@abeyromero8250]

Help me. This is amazing.

[@bioterroristic]

Just so you guys are aware - you showed the recipe for the apple crisp from the last video at the start. This recipe looks delicious though!! :)

[@laurenschenck5355]

Have a great weekend Claire and ur brilliant ❤😊❤😊❤😊

[@TaraL24]

Another recipe saved for a weekend ❤

[@laurenschenck5355]

Looks magnificent Claire ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊😊❤😊❤😊❤😊😊❤😊❤😊😊❤😊❤😊

[@jellicajanesebastian2532]

Claire please make your own Dubai Fix Chocolate 😩

[@MissGimpsAlot]

The recipe is in the description, y'all ✌️

[@valarya]

🤤🤤🤤 I'm going raspberry and apple picking this weekend. MIGHT HAVE TO PICK UP SOME BLUEBERRIES and make this asap.

[@MsDowntonabbey]

Claire, is the dish you're eating the cobbler from by any chance from Haand? My sister works there as a caster and the design looks very familiar! Love all your videos, thanks so much for sharing :)

[@dianefontaine8918]

Claire can you substitute the buttermilk for sour cream???? Looks delicious and trying. Asking it this afternoon… thanks always love ❤️ to watch you bake ❤❤❤❤

[@kjdude8765]

Yes, but split it 50/50 with milk to get a thinner texture otherwise there won't be enough liquid.

[@dianefontaine8918]

@@kjdude8765 great 👍 thank you so much 😊 🙋‍♀️🇨🇦❤️

[@blayne2029]

I never have cream. Is there any substitute? This looks awesome!

[@kjdude8765]

Not sure where you live but cream is sold in small pint or even 1 cup containers which would be perfect for this recipe.

[@yalllouu1094]

What a pleasant way to wake up! Pairing this video with my morning tea 🫶

[@ep8755]

If you are baking with frozen berries, what is the time and/or temp difference?

[@lechatbotte.]

Cobbler and Claire what’s it to love. Yummy

[@WarforgedWarlock]

@CSaffitz I tried making this twice for a friend. Once with grams, once with traditional measurements. Followed steps and recipe to the letter. it was so sticky I couldn’t work with it no matter what I tried. Suggestions? :( Love your content so much! Bought both books!

[@joser7011]

Looks delicious!! Will be trying this out myself this weekend😊

[@CSaffitz]

Please use the ingredients listed in description below the video. :)

[@user-qjvqfjv]

I know you don't do cereal often, but I'd love to see if you can replicate Oh's Cereal. It's Cheerios-shaped, so replicating the shape probably wouldn't be practical, but the flavor is amazing, and I love the nutty, oaty crumble that was always in the center of every piece.

[@xxvelvetdragonxx]

Idk if you still do the gourmet makes but if you do a great item would be little Debbie or TastyCakes chocolate or powdered donuts!!

[@spgb0bprincess]

Triggered by the giant spoon Claire is eating with 😂

[@Saknika]

Damn, if only I had seen this BEFORE I went to the store for some dinner ingredients! Oh well, next time; because this looks AMAZING. 💜

[@elizaheathen]

how long to bake if using frozen berries?

[@kjdude8765]

Probably add 5-10 minutes. Baking times are always a suggestion as ovens cook very differently.

[@maureenmclellan1845]

She said 10 minutes in the video

[@jadeshan1323]

Could I substitute the buttermilk for something plant based or non dairy

[@kjdude8765]

Sure, any plain non dairy yogurt would work.

[@JuanHerrera1]

Charlotte cake pls

[@Issor_Rossi]

I'm confused by the ingredients list, maybe it got mixed up with caramel apple skillet crisp recipe from last week?

[@chloeannmarie]

Would love a gluten free alternative! Just sub a GF flour?

[@4ltd3l]

What brand is that baking dish?

[@jamieclark7111]

Made in

[@leiasleeping1282]

Claire really loves her cobbler/crumble/crisp alright😂though rightfully so

[@brentonwalters]

What's the point of making a well in the dry ingredients before adding the buttermilk and heavy cream?

[@SugarDemon1035]

FYI, Claire's team: The wrong ingredient list is posted at 0:34

[@pb_pb_pb_pb]

Ooooooooft!

[@Fetykolovesdmb]

I think we all came to the same conclusion that’s the Carmel apple crisp recipe 😂😂

[@marybuford9591]

Boysenberries are the best. Never see them now.

[@ABlueDahlia]

I just want to add some oat streusel in between the biscuits so badly. lol

[@laurag2325]

claire ❤

[@szde]

When I was a child in Britain, my nanny was called Berry Cobbler. She died in a tragic industrial Yorkshire Pudding accident

[@drizkie9361]

My nanny was named Mary Poppins, she perished very similarly, Im so sorry 😔

[@JPKoutloud]

Can someone please pay attention to Claire and make demerara sugar more affordable? I'm here for it, but the $/gram is vastly different than the normal sugar.

[@kjdude8765]

Just sub brown sugar.

[@idigbebop]

File under; who needs a waistline when you can just buy bigger clothes. The shredded frozen butter coated in flour is a new learn.

[@tron949]

HMM is that cup holding the granulated sugar antique uranium glass?

[@thisisspacepig]

I have a set that looks almost exactly like that but smoked grey - it’s vintage but definitely not uranium glass, if it’s the same set. I own some pieces of true uranium glass, and Vaseline glass has a pretty different colour than that bowl imo.

[@nakhunchumpolsathien4861]

❤❤

[@jml4774]

Please make "Hot Milk Sponge Cake."

[@ElvishEly]

Would you ever do some videos about recipes to make using an air fryer? Not everyone has full sized oven but air fryers are becoming more popular and convenient

[@RichSanDiego1969]

Love ya Claire

[@Mokkel73]

The Heartattack Channel is back!

[@CupsAreUseful]

hello! can you please do more videos on cakes and cake decorating? (a request that mirrors a personal budding obsession hehe, ive already watched all ur cake videos multiple times 😂)

[@kjdude8765]

Have you watched Ann Reardons videos? She does lots of cake stuff.

[@twocvbloke]

If you made a few different versions, you could declare "What a load of cobblers!!!"... :P (And for context, 'cobblers' here in the UK is a word often used to out people telling lies, mistruths and just generally talking rubbish, though of course it also refers to the dessert, and people who make and fix shoes!)

[@simbeau]

Wait. One ninth of that is a portion??? I think not and I know you disagree but it definitely needs to be good vanilla ice cream instead.

[@maternalheart66]

Claire is in her approachable mass appeal era

[@daisy209]

Have you ever considered trying to be a contestant on The Great British Bake Off? Im just saying, you'd kick ass! 😄

[@SinginSquid12]

Sadly you have to be a true “amateur” to be on that show. You aren’t allowed to have made any money from food or recipe development so Claire wouldn’t qualify.

[@kamimaza]

Who else came here looking for Hoboken squat cobbler?

[@sugunabathula9994]

Hii

[@paulorr4896]

I've always wondered. Does the production staff get a share of the goody being put together by Claire?

[@skmccuen]

Not even a smidgen of spice?

[@samthepucket12]

First comment

[@ivanivanovski1]

Non-American here, why do you always use kosher salt. Isn't normal salt sea salt good enough?

[@kjdude8765]

Yes, regular salt is just fine here. You'll need half as much by volume if you make the substitution as fine sea salt is more dense. I'm not really sure why Claire is always pushing kosher salt for baking, it's variability in crystal size makes it imprecise to measure by volume.

[@RazaAli-l4z]

What about if I am diabetic and you’re not helping girly ???

[@laurenrichardson9134]

Wait, guys, she is definitely pregnant, right?! I know we aren't supposed to ask/assume but I just had a baby last year and I feel like I recognize the slight shortness of breath, long, luscious hair, glowing complexion, and rounded belly! (And.. if she's not preggo... she is a lovely lady with an unflattering apron/weird camera angles!)

[@maureenmclellan1845]

Never, ever ask.

[@williamhernandez3561]

Blow your nose girl, heavy breathing distracts…
