You all know how much I love to replicate recipes from popular restaurants at home right? Well, my family and I recently had dinner at PF Changs before our daughter went back to college after Spring break and dined on our usual Mongolian Beef, Crispy Honey Chicken and Pad Thai.

I normally don't eat dessert, but saw they had a new menu item called Apple Chai Cobbler that sounded fantastic. My kids, of course, opted for the Banana Spring Rolls with Pineapple Coconut Ice Cream.

Apple Chai Cobbler {PF Changs Copycat}

What is apple chai cobbler?

The dessert was described as "warm apples mixed with chai spices, topped with a crispy oat and coconut crumble and vanilla bean ice cream". Since I love fruit desserts, more so than most gooey cakes or ice cream, I knew I would probably love this one.

I also knew that since it was a new menu item, there probably weren't that many copycat recipes floating around the internet yet.

This crisp came out and tasted exactly as described; though I was a bit confused. I probably would consider this more of a "crisp" than a "cobbler", since cobblers generally have a doughy top and not a crumb topping, but who am I to complain.

Either way this Apple Chai Cobbler was served warm with creamy vanilla bean ice cream and was out of this world delicious. I knew right then and there that I could definitely replicate this dessert at home.

It didn't take me long (literally 5 days) to pop my own Apple Chai Cobbler into the oven. I can't say for sure exactly how PF Changs made theirs, but my version came out spot on! 

The only difference I made was the way it was served since I didn't have pretty ceramic tart dishes, so I made a larger batch (family style) and baked mine that way. I hope you get a chance to try this recipe for yourself, it's SO good and trust me, it didn't last very long either. ~Enjoy!

    Hi! This looks and sounds really, really yummy! Thanks for experimenting! About the pan size: do you recommend using a 9x13 pan? Thanks!

      Hi Debbie, I used a 1 1/2 qt casserole dish; which is about 9"x6". You could use a larger dish, but it probably won't be filled to the top so you may want to increase the measurements by the following: +1 cup appes, +1/4 cup oats, flour, sugar and coconut topping. The spices should be fine as is. Let me know how you like it!

    If anyone wants to replace plain flour - I used almond meal instead and it worked really great! I think any fine ground nuts would work too.
