Notes
- *Make this in either a 10 or 12 inch cast iron skillet, oven safe skillet, or Dutch oven.
- **Use either a hand mixer, blender, or vigorously whisk by hand. Be sure to incorporate air and make the batter fluffy.
- Substitutions:
- Apples: Fresh berries, reduce the apples, or even bake without fruit and top it after it's baked.
- All Purpose Flour: Gluten free or other nut flours.
- Sugar: Use a sugar substitute or maple syrup, honey, or agave
- Lemon Juice and Confectioner's Sugar: Berries, maple syrup, chocolate chips, whipped cream, or jam!
- We prefer this packed with apples so we use 1 1/2 cups but you could use as little as 1/2 cup, dependent upon your preference.
