Ingredients Needed

Gather these essential ingredients to craft your stovetop apple cobbler:

4 large apples (Red Delicious or your preferred variety)
4 tablespoons of butter
2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
1/2 cup to 1 cup of granulated Splenda (or sugar, or Splenda brown sugar blend)
2 1/2 cups of Krusteaz baking mix
1/2 cup of milk or water
1/4 cup of additional water (for the topping)

Step-by-Step Preparation

Follow these straightforward steps to whip up your stovetop apple cobbler:

Prepare the Apples

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, even pieces for uniform cooking.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced apples and sprinkle with ground cinnamon and Splenda (start with 1/2 cup, adjust to taste).
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Make the Cobbler Topping

In a separate bowl, combine the Krusteaz baking mix with 1/2 cup of milk or water to form a batter.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the batter and mix until smooth.

Assemble and Cook

Pour the apple mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly.
Carefully spoon or pour the batter over the apples, covering them completely.
Mix the remaining 1/4 cup of water with a few drops of water (if needed) and drizzle over the top for added moisture.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low to medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is set and golden.

Pro Tips for a Perfect Stovetop Apple Cobbler

Adjust sweetness: Taste the apples while cooking and add more Splenda or sugar if desired.
Use your favorite apples: Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp work wonderfully if you prefer a different flavor profile.
Consistency matters: If the batter seems too thick, add a splash more water; if too runny, add a little more baking mix.
Get creative: Add a handful of chopped nuts or a pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor.
