Apple Cobbler with Almond Topping

This recipe is nice and fruity with just the right amount of pastry. Use your favorite baking apples, and for a variation add cherries and raisins (see French Apple Cobbler variation in recipe notes). I like to top it with almonds but you could try pecans or walnuts too.
