Preparation

Step 1

While these are called skillet cobblers, the butter is melted in a pan on the stovetop, the batter is added, and then the cobbler transferred to the oven to bake. Any oven-proof, 10-inch pan will work. You can also use a two quart baking dish and melt the butter in the oven.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to the bowl of your stand-type mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Turn the mixer on for less than a minute to mix the ingredients together.
Add the eggs, milk, sour cream, and vanilla. Turn the mixer on again to mix the ingredients stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula. When thoroughly mixed, set aside.

Place the butter in the pan over medium heat and melt the butter until it is hot but not scorched. Turn the heat off.

Immediately scrape the batter into the hot pan. Place the apple slices on top of the batter. Sprinkle nuts evenly over the apples. Warm the caramel sauce and drizzle it over the nuts and apples.

Whip 1 cup cream with a whip attachment. When peaks start to form, add 2 T brown sugar and 1/2 t flavoring (caramel or vanilla). Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
