Caramel Apple Cobbler



so good and sweet

Hey, I’m Brittany’s brother and she asked me to do a guest blog since I like to cook and go camping. So today I am going to make an apple caramel cobbler in a cast iron dutch oven.

Ingredients                                                                                                                                         
Batter
1 cup self rising flour
1cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
¾ cup milk

Filling
5 apples
caramel syrup
1 stick of butter

Equipment
12 quart cast iron dutch oven
charcoal
claw hammer

Instructions

1. Pour 24 charcoal briquettes into a charcoal chimney or in a pyramid shape on a piece of aluminum foil. Then light them. (24 charcoal briquettes is the minimum number required. If it is cold outside use a little more)

love granny smith apples


2. Mix together flour, regular sugar, and milk

3. Peel apples and slice them anyway you want. (You can use apple pie filling if you want)








about half a jar of caramel was used

4. Put sliced apples in a container and cover them in caramel















5. Line the dutch oven with aluminum foil and then put the stick of butter in it.









can also be made in the dark
6. When the charcoal is done (it will be gray and red not black), place 8 briquettes in a circle on a piece of aluminum foil.


7. Put the dutch oven on the 8 briquettes and then put 16 briquettes around the outside edge of the dutch oven. (If it’s below 40 degrees outside put more on top but not on bottom)

look at that sugar





8. When the butter is melted, open the lid with the hammer and add the apples, then the batter, then sprinkle the brown sugar on top. Then replace the lid.







9. It will take about an hour for it to bake. Rotate the base clockwise 45 degrees and the base counter clockwise 45 degrees every fifteen minutes so that it bakes consistently.

10. When the top is golden brown it is done. Let cool then serve.
