🍎 Golden Apple Cinnamon Skillet Cake
Ingredients:
- 2 medium apples, thinly sliced (Honeycrisp = chef’s kiss)
- ½ cup butter (or vegan alt), melted
- ¾ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for serving 🍯
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cast iron skillet (8–10”) with butter or oil.
- Caramelize the apples (optional but next-level):
Sauté apple slices in a bit of butter + cinnamon + sugar until golden and soft. Set aside. - Mix the batter:
In a bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar. Add eggs + vanilla. Fold in flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until smooth. - Assemble the cake:
Pour batter into the skillet. Arrange apples in a fan or swirl on top (or just scatter for a cozy rustic look). - Bake for 25–30 mins, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Serve warm:
Drizzle with honey or maple syrup. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you wanna go ✨full comfort✨.
Serving Vibe:
Wooden spoon, knit sweater, leaves crunching outside. This cake is the edible version of a “slow morning” playlist and smells like cinnamon dreams and soft golden light 🍂📖☕️
