Cast-Iron Skillet Spiced Apple & Pecan Cobbler

By Sweet July

Cozy, caramelized, and straight from the skillet.

Serves: 8

Time: 30 minutes

Warm, bubbly, and loaded with fall flavor, this easy skillet cobbler is pure comfort in dessert form.

Sweet, spiced Honeycrisp apples and toasty pecans bake together under a golden biscuit topping brushed with cinnamon sugar—perfectly crisp on the outside and soft underneath. Served straight from the skillet with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it’s a quick, cozy dessert that brings everyone to the table.

Ingredients

- 6 medium-size Honeycrisp apples (9 ounces each), cored and thinly sliced (about 12 cups sliced)
- 1 cup roasted salted pecans
- ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (16.3-ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough (such as Pillsbury Grands!)
- Vanilla bean ice cream, for serving

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, combine apple slices, pecans, brown sugar, flour, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix until apples are evenly coated.

Step 2

In a smal bowl, mix together granulated sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Heat a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and cook until melted and starting to brown, about 1–2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the apple mixture to the skillet and toss until apples are coated in butter and heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.

Step 4

While apples bake, cut each biscuit in half horizontally to make 16 biscuit rounds. Remove skillet from oven and arrange the biscuit rounds over the apples, leaving small gaps between each one. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Step 5

Return skillet to oven and bake until apples are tender and biscuits are golden brown, 12–15 minutes. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
