How to Make Apple Skillet Cobbler

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the melted butter and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and turns into a light amber syrup (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Add 4 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples (about 4 medium apples) to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften slightly and are coated in the syrup (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of biscuit mix, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Gradually add 2/3 cup milk to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
  7. Spoon the biscuit dough evenly over the apple mixture in the skillet.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional)!
