A moist and slightly sweet cornbread infused with diced apples and cinnamon, perfect as a side dish for chili or a fall treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely diced tart apples (like Granny Smith)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch cast-iron skillet or an 8×8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet or baking pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cornbread cool in the pan for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can substitute half-and-half for the milk.
  • Ensure your apples are diced small so they cook through evenly.
  • This cornbread pairs wonderfully with chili, stews, or as a breakfast side.
