As the weather cools down and autumn approaches, I find myself craving comforting dishes that blend sweet and savory flavors. Today, I’m excited to share with you my recipe for Caramelized Apple and Bacon Skillet Cornbread. This unique twist on a classic cornbread is sure to become a new favorite in your household.

Ingredients:

• 150g yellow cornmeal
• 100g all-purpose flour
• 10g baking powder
• 5g baking soda
• 5g salt
• 250ml buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• 100g butter, melted
• 100g crispy cooked bacon, crumbled
• 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
• 50g brown sugar

Kitchen Tools:

• cast iron skillet
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• knife
• cutting board

To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place your cast iron skillet in the oven to heat up. In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the crumbled bacon.

Remove the hot skillet from the oven and add a tablespoon of butter, swirling it around to coat the bottom and sides. Spread the diced apples evenly in the skillet, sprinkle with brown sugar, then pour the batter over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cornbread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once the cornbread is baked, allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. The combination of sweet caramelized apples, salty bacon, and tender cornbread is sure to impress your taste buds.

This Caramelized Apple and Bacon Skillet Cornbread recipe yields approximately 8 servings. Each serving weighs around 150g and contains approximately 300 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle a little extra brown sugar on top of the cornbread before baking for a slightly caramelized finish.
