Recipe Review
This cobbler made with apples and cranberry juice cocktail was a new type of cobbler for me.  I really liked it.  Unfortunately, I couldn't get anyone else in my family to try it.  I did have a few problems in making it.  I used an 8-inch square Pyrex baking dish which I measured for volume to be sure it would hold the 8 cups designated in the recipe.  The recipe calls for 6 apples and it might be better if it gave a measurement of cups.  At least for my dish, that seemed to be too many apples.  I attempted to go ahead and use all 6 apples since I already had them peeled.  The dish was full after I added the cranberry juice mixture.  Before the apples were cooked, I had a lot of juice run out in my oven.  It also took quite a bit longer to cook the apples than the recipe stated.  Once I added the biscuit topping, it cooked in the amount of time listed for that part of the recipe.  If I made this again, I think I might try simmering the apples and juice on top of the stove in a skillet until the apples were cooked.  I would stir them occasionally to get all of the apples cooked.  In the oven, the apples around the outer edges cooked more quickly.  I think the apples could be cooked on top of the stove, then put in a baking dish to add the biscuits and bake for cooking the biscuit topping.  Or use a skillet that could be put in the oven.  
I really liked the flavor of the apple part and of the biscuit topping with the lemon sugar on top.  It was just messy to make so I would try the other method of cooking.
