I decided to use my cast iron skillet to make dessert. Whereas apple pie is not one of my favorites, it IS one of IT Guy's. This was fun, easy and different. It actually was very good. I had a piece and enjoyed it quite a bit. Over the next few days, IT Guy had lots of pieces and enjoyed every bite, I assume, because every time I looked at the skillet, there was a little more of the cobbler missing and I knew I wasn't eating it! You could do this with berries or cherries...which would be MY preference. However you make it, make it!!
