Tidbits of tangy green apple are a nice surprise that balance the cheese in this crusty cast-iron favorite. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon butter |
1 granny smith apple, peeled and diced (1 cup) |
1 tablespoon shortening |
1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups milk |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
6 tablespoons butter, melted |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted. Add apple, and sauté 3 minutes or until just tender. Remove from heat, and set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 425°. Heat shortening in a 9 cast-iron skillet in oven 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, stir together cornmeal and next 3 ingredients. Whisk together milk and egg; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until moistened. Stir in 6 tablespoons melted butter. Add sautéed apple and cheese, stirring just until combined.
4. Pour batter into hot skillet. Bake at 425° for 25 minutes or until golden. Cut into wedges.
