  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Melt the butter in an 8-inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.

  5. Then measure in the applesauce and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
  6. Sprinkle in the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir carefully until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated.
  7. Add the chocolate chips and walnuts, and fold the mixture together.
  8. Smooth the mixture on top.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, and bake for 20-35 minutes or until dry on top, but slightly soft in the center.
  10. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  11. Serve warm, and enjoy with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of ice cream.
