Apple Fritter Skillet Bake

We’ve been really lucky the last couple of days enjoying cool mornings and beautiful early Fall-like days. With cooler temps it always makes me (and even my husband) want to start making all the Fall things that we love. I was invited by dear friend, Kristen from Ella Claire her new Holiday Recipe Series. It’s a blog tour, of our favorite recipes. The links and bloggers are listed below. Make sure to visit all of the bloggers, because I know their recipes, suggestions and tips will be well worth your time. This particular series is all about APPLES! I knew immediately what I was going to share for this post, because it happens to be one of my husband’s favorites. It’s an Apple Fritter Skillet Bake. Is it a dessert, yes. Is it something you can bake for breakfast, yes! It’s something you could make while camping, yes! We absolutely love this recipe and especially love things baked in a cast iron skillet.

I know many recipes posts, start off by saying – this recipe is so easy. But this one really is. The only true prep work is that you have to peel & chop 2-3 apples and cook them on medium heat until they are cooked through and soft.

But let me stop right here and say…

This is almost the best part.

Because your house will smell like beautiful, glorious Fall when you cook these apples and make this Apple Fritter Skillet Bake.

Of course we serve this with vanilla ice cream, because it simply tastes so good together. But you can serve it alone, with caramel sauce or maybe even extra butter. We love it fresh from the oven, and allow the ice cream to melt over the warm apples. Heaven.

It’s amazing how the beginning of a new season or a change in weather makes me more productive. I even got my Fall storage bins out, and decided it was time to switch up my open shelves in our kitchen. I love the mix of blues, copper and the wood altogether on the shelves. I also added a few faux pumpkins and gourds to the mix as well.
