Salted Chocolate Chip Apple Skillet Cookie

Salted Chocolate Chip Apple Skillet Cookie is a delicious, autumn treat perfect for any occasion! “Embark on a journey of sweet indulgence with our Salted Chocolate Chip Apple Skillet Cookie—a dessert masterpiece that unites the richness of chocolate, the sweetness of apple, and the perfect touch of salt for an unparalleled treat.”

During my pregnancy I craved chocolate chip cookies. 

Okay, that and cheeseburgers. 

But does a cheeseburger really count as craving because I gobbled those up all the time even before I was preggo? I dunno. Either way, those were my two go-to’s. Now that I’m not pregnant I still have a hunkering for a delicious, chocolate-y cookie at the end of the day. 

Since it’s Monday I figured we could all use a little treat. Am I right? This Salted Chocolate Chip Apple Skillet Cookie is the autumn cookie as far as I am concerned. Yes, the entire title is a mouthful. But I promise it won’t matter the title when you devour a slice. 

Skillet cookies might be the best thing ever invented. I mean why have a two-inch cookie when you can have a giant 10-inch sized all to yourself. I’m not good at math, but this seems like a better deal. 

Besides the consumable size of this cookie, what I love about this dessert is it’s seasonality. I have been dying to go apple picking, but Colorado lacks in the apple picking department. Peaches, covered. Pumpkins, everybody has these. But apples? I have yet to find an orchard I can prance through and take Instagram worthy photos in (wink, wink). 

Anyway, as that hunt continues, I decided to throw in your average apple from the grocery store. I went with granny smith because it’s tried and true. Plus, they taste delicious with caramel drizzled over the top. If you are apple picking in the next few weeks get into the autumn spirit by making this Salted Chocolate Chip Apple Skillet Cookie.

No judgement if you don’t share.
