Favorite Caramel Apple Pie Cobbler

By

This apple recipe is usually found in your apple pie, but I've made it into a more varied, quicker, and harder to fail (no crust!) recipe with less sugar and butter than you might think. It hits the apple pie spot, but for those not so hot about crust, who prefer a warm, gooey cobbler, it's a lovely treat to serve up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
