Skillet Caramel Apple Cobbler

It’s currently 10 degrees here, and the temperature is supposed to drop well below zero tonight. It’s on days like this that I really love to bake, because I not only get to enjoy a new goodie, but having the oven on really helps to warm up my home.

I made this Caramel Apple Cobbler in my 12-inch cast iron skillet – one of my most favorite baking tools. This cobbler is very good served cold, but it’s especially good if served warm, with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream to top it off.

~Enjoy~
