How to Make Apple Cheddar Skillet Corn Bread
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly oil a 10-inch cast iron skillet or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a small bowl, combine the milk and vinegar; set aside for 5 minutes to curdle.
- In another bowl, whisk together the corn, egg whites, honey, and oil until well combined.
- Gradually whisk in the milk mixture until just combined.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced apples.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moistened. Do not overmix.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven for 3 minutes to heat.
- Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and pour in the batter.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cornbread cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm, cut into wedges.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
