Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 2 large apples
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons apple pie spice (see my recipe on how to make this)
  • 3/4 cup cornmeal
  • 1 tablespoon tapioca (or cornstarch)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (or turbinado sugar)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a cast iron skillet (8 or 9 inches).
  • Peel, core and coarsely chop the apples. Toss with lemon juice and apple pie spice.
  • In a large bowl whisk together cornmeal, starch, baking powder and salt.
  • In a separate bowl lightly beat the eggs. Add maple syrup, vanilla, oil and yogurt and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour wet into dry mixture and stir until just combined. Fold in apple chunks.
  • Fill batter into prepared skillet and sprinkle coarse sugar over top. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden.
  • Serve lightly warm or at room temperature. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and top with whipped (coconut) cream, if desired.
