    Equipment

    • 10" cast iron skillet

    Ingredients

    • ¼ cup light brown sugar firmly packed
    • 2 tablespoons cane syrup sub for pancake syrup if needed
    • ½ teaspoon apple pie spice
    • 1 ⅓ cups flour all-purpose
    • ¾ cup sugar
    • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup whole milk warmed
    • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
    • 1 egg large
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    US Standard - Metric

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350°F and spray 10″ cast iron skillet with butter spray.
    • In 1 medium bowl mix, apples, brown sugar, cane syrup, apple pie spice and mix together.
    • In another medium bowl whisk together, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt.
    • In a small bowl, mix butter, egg, milk and vanilla extract together.

    • Add batter to 10″ skillet and then top with apples.
    • Bake for 35 minutes or until done.

    Notes

    • Don’t overmix the batter; stir just until the wet and dry ingredients come together to keep the cake soft and tender.
    • Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes in the skillet so it sets properly and slices cleanly.
    • Store any remaining cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days to maintain its flavor and texture.
