Apple Cobbler Topped with Cheddar Bisquick

What to do with 3 Macintosh apples? That was the question. This recipe is the answer. It's quick, simple and comforting. It's a combination of many recipes. Warning: When taken out of the oven - it was bubbling at the top of the 1 quart casserole. It didn't overflow - but it wanted to. If you use a larger casserole - you may want to increase ingredients.
