Skillet Cobbler

Oh my goodness! This has become a family favorite. Whatever fruit on hand ... fresh, canned or frozen. Pick your favorite and get ready for an amazing cobbler baked to perfection in your iron skillet. Let it cool for a few minutes, scoop out a hearty spoonful, add your favorite vanilla ice cream and you've got a new family favorite ... guaranteed!

Ingredients

•1 box of 2 refrigerated pie crusts (I prefer Pillsbury but generic works just fine)

•2 (1o-14 oz) bags frozen peaches, mixed berries, apples, peaches or substitute your favorite fruit pie filling, or use blackberries or blueberries ... it's up to your personal taste

•1 stick butter, melted

•1 1/3 cups sugar (for fresh or frozen fruit)

•1/2 cup flour

•3/4 cup sugar (for crust)

•1/2 stick butter, cut into small cubes

•1/2 cup water

Instructions

•Heat oven to 350 degrees.

•Unroll one pie crust and place in the bottom and up sides of 12 " cast iron skillet.

•Pierce bottom and sides of crust with a fork.

•Bake 7-8 minutes till crust looks like it’s no longer raw but don’t overcook; remove from oven.

•Increase oven temp to 375 degrees.

•In a large bowl, mix melted butter, 1 1/3 cups sugar, and flour.

•Put fresh or frozen fruit in bowl with butter/sugar/flour mixture; toss until covered and mixture is crumbly.

•Gently pour fruit into skillet; sprinkle water over fruit.

•Unroll second pie crust over top of fruit, sealing at the edges of the skillet.

•Scatter the small pieces of butter on top of the crust.

•Sprinkle 3/4 cups sugar on top of crust. (Note: I like to use the larger raw sugar crystals.)

•Cut tiny slits in top of pie crust.

•Bake for approximately 45 minutes or until bubbly at edges and beginning to brown on top.

The cobbler will be super duper hot, so let it cool. This might be the hrdest part of this recipe ... you'll want to dig in right away. At least let it cool enough so your ice cream won't melt immediately!

Enjoy! Share with family and friends but be sure to leave enough for one final spoonful as your reward for a job well done!
