Rustic Apple Cobbler in a Cast Iron Skillet

I love cooking in Cast Iron. I have a great collection of Cast Iron Cookware and Accessories . This is a simple, rustic, down-home comfort food dessert! I included my recipe for Homemade Whipped Cream for serving.

Here's what you'll need:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
1 - 10" Cast Iron Skillet
