How to Make Apple Skillet Cake

Follow these simple steps to bring your Apple Skillet Cake to life:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or a similar baking dish.
2. Combine the dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Mix the wet ingredients: In a larger bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until fluffy and light in color. Stir in your choice of whiskey, bourbon, Cognac, or apple brandy along with the vanilla extract.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk, and mix until just combined.
5. Prepare the skillet: Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and sprinkle the top evenly with turbinado sugar.
6. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Serve and enjoy: Let the cake cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm, straight from the skillet!

Helpful Tips

• Perfect Skillet: Using a cast iron skillet not only gives this cake a wonderful crust but also beautifully presents it at any table.
• Check Doneness: Keep an eye on your cake as oven temperatures can vary; start checking for doneness at the 25-minute mark.

Substitutions/Variations

• Non-Alcoholic Version: Replace the alcohol with apple juice or more buttermilk if you prefer a non-alcoholic version.
• Add Fruits: Feel free to mix in a layer of thinly sliced apples or pears at the bottom of the skillet for an extra fruity delight.
