Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9x9 pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

In a large bowl, toss together the chopped apples, lemon juice, brown sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside to make the biscuit cobbler topping.

In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients of the flour, baking powder and salt.

In a small bowl, melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter and add the sugar and vanilla and mix it all together.

Pour the butter/sugar mixture into the flour mixture, add dash of cinnamon and mix using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, mixture will be crumbly.  Add a tablespoon of milk and mix it into the cobbler batter without over-mixing too much.  Batter should be clumpy.  If batter is still too crumbly, add another tablespoon of milk.  It should appear like a soft dough.

Place 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter, cut into quarters and place in the bottom of the pan.  Add the apple mixture on top of the butter pats and spread out evenly.

Drop the biscuit dough on top of the apples and bake for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown and set.

Let cobbler set for 10 minutes, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or with some milk poured on top, just like Grandma used to make it!
