I was speaking with Meggan on Monday and she told me a great story about what to do with burnt biscuits. Meggan made biscuits Saturday morning and burnt them on the bottom. She didn’t want to throw them away but once she cut the bottoms off they were too thin to spread with butter and jelly. She also had a bag of apples she needed to use so she decided to make an Apple Cobbler in this great Le Creuset 5.5 Quart Dutch Oven. Don’t you think it is just divine in the Caribbean Blue? Here is her recipe:

Peel, core and slice about 8 to 10 Granny Smith apples. Place in a 5.5 quart French oven. Add 1/3 cup of orange juice, 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 tbsp. of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of Nutmeg (if desired). Place on stove top and cook down until soft.

Drain off liquid and reserve, keeping the apples in the same French Oven. Cut the burnt part off your biscuits and throw away.  Break the remaining biscuits up into silver dollar sized pieces. Cover the apples with them. Cut up 1/3 cup of butter and place on top of biscuits. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of brown sugar.  Pour reserved liquid over everything. Bake in the oven from 350 to 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve in your Le Creuset Dutch Oven. Enjoy!!
