Skillet Apple Cobbler
This Skillet Apple Cobbler is full of old fashioned goodness with a warm, spiced apple filling and topped off with a sweet biscuit crust for a skillet dessert that is sure to become a family favorite!
I can’t resist a good cobbler! There’s something so delicious about warm fruit topped off with a delicious sweet crust. This recipe utilizes my very favorite cobbler crust which is a sweet biscuit crust. It’s soft on the inside, crunch on the outside, and is really my favorite part of any cobbler. I’m all about that crust!
This skillet apple cobbler is also really easy to make. The hardest part is slicing the apples. A good peeler, corer, slicer should run you $20 or less and takes all the hard work out of it. I actually finally caved and bought one this summer and it is a serious game changer.
What kind of apple should I use?
When choosing an apple for a cobbler or pie, you should pay attention to the recipe. A good recipe will tell you what kind of apple to buy. There are hundreds and hundreds of varieties of apples so you don’t have to have an exact match, but if you understand a little bit about the variety it calls for (thanks Google!) then you’ll be able to get a good match.
In this recipe I’ve called for Granny Smith apples which are a green, tart apple. A tart apple balances out the sweetness in the recipe. Granny Smith apples also bake really well and don’t release too many liquids or become mushy when baked.
What is the difference between a cobbler and a crisp?
A cobbler is a baked fruit dessert dish that has a batter or biscuit crust. A crisp is a bake fruit dessert dish that is topped with a mixture that resembles a streusel, and often contains a mixture of oatmeal, butter, and sugar.
