Fall Apple Skillet Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour, and salt; set aside. In a large ovenproof skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook apple slices, stirring occasionally, until soft, 6 to 8 minutes. Add brown sugar and cinnamon and cook until caramelized, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Pour in batter and transfer to oven. Bake until cake puffs, about 12 minutes. Sprinkle with raw sugar and return to oven until brown on top, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool slightly. Serve each slice with a dollop of Greek yogurt, if using.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-inch cast iron skillets with butter or prepare springform pans, making sure they're lined.
• In a small bowl, toss the apple slices in lemon juice to stop them from browning, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
• Make the batter for the Milk and Honey Cake according to directions.
• For the Milk and Honey Cake:
• Place a large sifter or a sieve in a large bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and sift.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs together. Set aside.
• In another small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, and vanilla. Set aside.
• Using an electric mixer with beaters or a paddle attachment, beat the butter for 30 to 45 seconds on medium speed, then gradually add the sugar. When all the sugar has been added, stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Continue beating on medium speed for another 4 minutes or until light in color and fluffy.
• With the mixer still on medium speed, add the eggs 1 tablespoon at a time, over 3 minutes. If the batter curdles, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the flour to bind it back together.
• With the mixer on low speed, add the dry and wet ingredients alternately two times, starting and ending with the dry. Mix until just combined and smooth. Don't overbeat. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula to make sure it's well combined.
• Divide the batter evenly between the skillets or pans and smooth the tops with a spatula. Working from the center out, gently lay the apple slices on top of the batter; leave behind any excess juice. Brush or drizzle the melted butter over the apple slices. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle evenly over the apple slices.
• Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until golden. A skewer may not come out completely clean due to the moisture of the apple, but it shouldn't be wet. If baked in a springform pan, let sit for 10 minutes then release and remove parchment paper.
• Serve with a dusting of confectioners' sugar and vanilla bean ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine butter and 1 1/4 cups sugar in a 9-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to caramelize, 5 to 10 minutes. When mixture starts to simmer, add diced apples and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg. Gently press on the apples with a spatula until coated with sugar mixture and simmer, without stirring, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
• Combine baking mix, milk, shredded Cheddar cheese, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl and stir until consistency is similar to a waffle batter. Spoon mixture evenly over the apples in the skillet; no need to be too precise as it will spread out while baking.
• Bake skillet in preheated oven until batter reaches a firm consistency and is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the stovetop until the caramelized sugar thickens a bit, about 5 minutes. Spoon servings onto individual plates, drizzle with caramel liquid, and serve while warm.

Steps:

• Melt butter in 10" - 12" ovenproof non-stick skillet. Arrange apple wedges in a layer in skillet and sprinkle with sugar.
• Cook apples on medium to low heat about 5 minutes, then turn the apple wedges over and cook 5 minutes more.
• Set skillet with apples aside.
• Make batter:.
• Place all batter ingredients in a food processor and process a few seconds to combine them.
• Heat the broiler.
• Pour the batter over the apples in the skillet; cover and cook over low heat on the stove for 6 - 8 minutes.
• Uncover the skillet and broil 6" from the heat source for 6 - 8 minutes, until browned on top.
• Invert onto a serving plate, and sprinkle with confectioner's sugar. Cut into wedges and serve with maple syrup (optional).
