Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 7 Autumn Glory apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Shortcake
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream plus 1-2 tablespoons if needed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon sugar (1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon sugar mixed together)
Vanilla Ice Cream or Whipped Cream for Topping
Directions
- Preheat grill to 425°F (alternatively can bake in the oven).
- Combine apples, cinnamon, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla in a cast iron skillet and toss to combine.
- Place skillet on the grill and close the lid, stirring a few times until apples begin to soften. Move to indirect heat at this time so apples don’t burn.
- While apples begin to cook mix together flour, sugar, 1 cup heavy cream, and vanilla in a bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until mixture just comes together, add an additional tablespoon of heavy cream if needed for moisture.
- Turn dough out onto a floured surface and form into a smooth disc and pat until dough is about ¼-½ inch thick. Reform dough and repeat until you have 8 shortcakes.
- Place shortcakes on top of the apples and brush with the remaining heavy cream and then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Close grill lid and bake for 35-40 minutes until shortcakes are cooked through on indirect heat.
- Serve with homemade ice cream or whipped cream.
