How to Make Apple Skillet Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Peel and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups). Gently toss the apples with 2 tablespoons of flour to prevent sticking.
- Pour the batter into a well-greased 10-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe skillet.
- Arrange the apple slices evenly over the batter.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the skillet for at least 10 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
