Sugar Cookie Apple Ginger Cobbler with Salted Caramel Drizzle

Based on my recipe for Sugar Cookie Cherry Cobbler, this easy dessert is made in one pan. That means easy prep, easy clean up and easy serving. I don’t know about you but I love simple and easy when I need something fast to feed a hungry crowd. Tender apples in a buttery, sugary syrup with a fantastic pop of ginger and salted caramel streamed on top. OMG! The magic made in one skillet.

In this recipe I use Granny Smith apples because of their tartness and ability to hold together when cooked. Diced apples are mixed with salt, vanilla, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a generous amount of ginger. Melt butter in your cast iron skillet and add in apples. Saute apples for 5 minutes until almost tender. Stir in sugars and cook about 5 more minutes until thick and apples are tender. Combine sugar cookie dough and rolled oats. Place tablespoonfuls of dough evenly on top of apples and bake. When ready to serve, drizzle top with salted caramel sauce, whipped cream or ice cream. You can serve the cobbler warm or at room temperature. Pure heaven and delicious, ridiculousness awaits and if you don’t believe me, get in the kitchen now.
