I know what you are thinking...
It is no longer fall nor apple season...at least in the Midwest. But have you seen the apples in the store? Apple season is no longer just for fall! Apples can be found year round! Which is why I was inspired to make a dessert using apples in the WINTER!
While attending the BlogHer Conference this past November, I was introduced to Stemilt and their signature branded apple variety, the Pinata®. This apple variety has a unique, crisp, tropical flavor which is perfect for dreaming of warmer weather during these brutal winter days. You can taste hints of pineapple in each piece of apple! Great for the lunchbox and baking too! So grab a skillet or an oven ready dish to make a Skillet Apple Cobbler with a sweet, heart shaped biscuit just in time for Valentine's Day! This recipe is perfect for two but you could always double or triple it to include all those other sweeties in your home.
Tropical flavored apples sweetened with a bit of brown sugar and some red hots! The sweet biscuit on top is the perfect addition! Serve warm and bubbly for those days when you just want to plant yourself in front of the fire and dream of Hawaii. Speaking of Hawaii...want to win a trip? Keep reading to find out how!!!
Apples are good all year long! I love it! Look for the apples marked with the ladybug stickers to find Stemilt! Oh, I bet you were wondering about that trip to Hawaii?
