Easy Apple-Buttermilk Cobbler: A recipe from Southern Cast Iron

When it comes to iconic fall flavors, it’s hard to find anything more classic and comforting than apples. In recent years, pumpkin spice has certainly made a name for itself, but when it comes to fall flavors that are full of tradition and history, apples are king.

Once chilly fall weather finally makes it to the South, we love eating apples in just about any way we can get them—straight from the basket in the orchard or as an ingredient in savory suppers. But apple-filled desserts seem to particularly hit the spot, and this Easy Apple-Buttermilk Cobbler is no exception.

Cobblers always seem to find themselves at the top of our fall baking list. They are one of the easiest desserts to put together while also being among the prettiest and most comforting. Humble ingredients melt together to create the perfect amount of fall sweetness.

We love this recipe from our new sister publication, Southern Cast Iron. Baking this beauty of a cobbler in an heirloom cast-iron skillet adds even more charm and coziness. Be sure to pick up a copy of Southern Cast Iron today to find even more delectable fall desserts, from skillet cookies to upside-down cakes. Get out your cast-iron, and get ready for the sweet aromas of fall to fill your home!
