Caramel-Applesauce Cobbler

PUBLISHED ON: 11.04.2010
It’s apple season!  Here in the most southern part of the United States our climate is to warm to grow apples, and we miss out on days spent at the apple orchards, picking, walking and enjoying the ambience of an autumn day.  However, we do not miss out on the availability, and the tradition of enjoying apples this time of year. 
My sister in law, Kim is a wonderful baker.  On a recent family gathering she brought along this simply prepared apple cobbler.  I love fruit pies and cobblers, and this is as easy as it gets for an enjoyable fruit cobbler.
Serve it up with the warm pastry strips and a scoop of your favorite ice cream.
