COMFORT FOOD RECIPES FOR WINTER


Ahhhh, finally refresing Spring is here.
So, we're going to bring you some of Grandma's wonderful Spring recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Desserts. Enjoy.


recipe Recipe: Caramel-Apple Skillet Buckle
Taste of Home

My grandma used to bake a version of this for me when I was a little girl. She would make it using fresh apples from her tree in the backyard. I've adapted her recipe because I love the combination of apples, pecans and caramel.
Recipe by Emily Hobbs ~ Springfield, Missouri


    Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1-3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/2 cups buttermilk

  • TOPPING:
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cold butter
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 6 cups thinly sliced peeled Gala or other sweet apples (about 6 medium)
  • 18 caramels, unwrapped
  • 1 tablespoon buttermilk
  • Optional toppings: Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and additional chopped pecans and ground cinnamon

  • Preparation Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition. Pour into a greased 12-in. cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet.
  • For topping, in a small bowl, mix brown sugar and flour; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in pecans and oats; sprinkle over batter. Top with apples. Bake until apples are golden brown, 60-70 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack.
  • In a microwave, melt caramels with buttermilk; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cake. Let stand until set. Serve with toppings as desired.

  • Servings: 12
