Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. 1
    Adjust oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Set a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven.
  2. 2
    Whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl; set aside. Whisk the eggs in a second medium bowl until combined. Add the sugar to the eggs; whisk until combined; add the melted butter and whisk to combine. Add the buttermilk and whisk until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients; mix gently with a rubber spatula until the batter is just combined. Fold the apples into the batter. Do not over mix.
  3. 3
    Remove the skillet from the oven, grease it with butter, and then quickly pour the batter into the heated skillet and smooth the top with a rubber spatula. Bake until the cake is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the cake onto a wire rack; cool for 5 minutes, then serve.
