Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 F.
- For the apple topping: In a 9 to 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add sugar to the pan and stir around, then place apple slices, cut side down, in the pan. Don't pack them too tightly, but try not to leave overly large gaps. Allow this to cook over low/medium-low heat while you make the cake batter, about 10 minutes.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla and eggs. Add the sour cream and mix well.
- In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir together then gradually add the flour mixture into the creamed butter mixture until just combined. Gently stir in the chopped apple.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Spoon the batter over the top, then spread gently so the batter is evenly distributed. Place on a sheet tray lined with foil and bake for 25 -30 minutes, or until cake is golden brown and bubbly. Allow the cake to sit in skillet for five minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Don't worry if some of the topping isn't perfect---it'll taste perfect!
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
FALL APPLE SKILLET CAKE
Here's a dessert that's perfect for a large fall dinner party, like ones we have at our friend's house upstate. Bring the two rustic skillets straight from the oven to the table to serve up. This cake is a cross between an apple cake and English pudding, so it is best eaten warm. Sprinkling melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon on the apples enables them to be slightly caramelized before they are enveloped by the batter. It's not like a pie or a tart, so don't hate me when the apple slices sink in. I've baked this cake in numerous ways and prefer it when the apples get all gooey and delicious from baking in the batter. Serve with creme Anglaise, whipped cream or vanilla bean ice cream.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-inch cast iron skillets with butter or prepare springform pans, making sure they're lined.
- In a small bowl, toss the apple slices in lemon juice to stop them from browning, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
- Make the batter for the Milk and Honey Cake according to directions.
- For the Milk and Honey Cake:
- Place a large sifter or a sieve in a large bowl. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and sift.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs together. Set aside.
- In another small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, honey, and vanilla. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer with beaters or a paddle attachment, beat the butter for 30 to 45 seconds on medium speed, then gradually add the sugar. When all the sugar has been added, stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Continue beating on medium speed for another 4 minutes or until light in color and fluffy.
- With the mixer still on medium speed, add the eggs 1 tablespoon at a time, over 3 minutes. If the batter curdles, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the flour to bind it back together.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the dry and wet ingredients alternately two times, starting and ending with the dry. Mix until just combined and smooth. Don't overbeat. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a spatula to make sure it's well combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the skillets or pans and smooth the tops with a spatula. Working from the center out, gently lay the apple slices on top of the batter; leave behind any excess juice. Brush or drizzle the melted butter over the apple slices. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle evenly over the apple slices.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until golden. A skewer may not come out completely clean due to the moisture of the apple, but it shouldn't be wet. If baked in a springform pan, let sit for 10 minutes then release and remove parchment paper.
- Serve with a dusting of confectioners' sugar and vanilla bean ice cream.
APPLE SKILLET CAKE WITH SALTED CARAMEL FROSTING
This buttery cake is filled with soft, caramel-infused apples and topped with an easy caramel frosting. It's better to err on the side of underbaking the cake slightly, since it makes for a gooier end result.

Steps:
- Make the apples: In a 10-inch sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apples, brown sugar and salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the apples soften slightly, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 10-inch oven-proof skillet with butter.
- Make the cake: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and mix to combine. Scrape the bowl well, then beat in the vanilla.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg to combine. Add the flour mixture to the mixer and mix just until incorporated. Scrape the bowl well.
- With a rubber spatula, gently fold the apple mixture (including all of the caramel-like liquid in the pan) into the batter. Mix just until incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and spread into an even layer. Bake until the surface is evenly golden brown and appears set - a toothpick inserted into the center should have a few moist crumbs clinging to it, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely.
- Make the frosting: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Place the caramels in a microwave-safe container. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring, until the caramel is warm and fluid. (This mixture will cool quickly, so be sure to do it just before you mix the frosting.) Add the warm (not hot) caramel mixture and mix on medium speed until incorporated. Scrape the bowl well.
- Add the cream and vanilla and mix to combine. The frosting should be smooth and very soft. Scoop the frosting onto the cooled cake, and spread into an even layer. Garnish with flaky salt just before serving.

APPLE SKILLET CAKE
This treat is heavy on apples and light on batter, so it's more like a thin German pancake than a dense cake.

SKILLET CARAMEL-APPLE CRISP
The caramel sauce does double duty in this warm, comforting crisp. First, it lends sweetness to the apple filling, and second, it yields a lot of leftovers to serve alongside. Use firm, tart apples like Mutsu, Jonathan or Honeycrisp, which will hold their shape during baking. Room-temperature apples work best here: If your apples are cold from the refrigerator, the caramel sauce may seize a bit. Save any extra caramel sauce in your fridge for a rainy day - that is, of course, if you haven't eaten it all.

Steps:
- Make the caramel sauce: Add the granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water to a 3-quart saucepan and stir to combine. Add the butter and set it over medium-high heat, but do not stir. Cook, without stirring, until the butter and sugar have completely melted and started to bubble, 4 to 5 minutes.
- After the mixture has begun to brown at the edges, use a heatproof spatula to carefully stir it occasionally until it is deep golden brown and beginning to smoke just slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes. Do not walk away from the pan during this process as the caramel will go from perfectly golden to burned in moments.
- When the mixture is deep golden, remove the pan from the heat, and carefully whisk in the heavy cream. The mixture will expand and sputter before turning into a smooth sauce. Add the vanilla and salt. If the caramel is at all lumpy, return the pan to the stove on low heat and whisk until smooth. You should have about 2 cups. Carefully pour the caramel into a heat-safe container to cool.
- Prepare the filling: Heat your oven to 350 degrees and set a rack in the center. Peel, core and slice the apples into 1/2-inch slices, removing any bruised bits if necessary. Combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, spices and salt in a large bowl, and stir to combine. Drizzle 1/2 cup caramel sauce over the top and stir again. Scrape the apples and all of their juices into a 9- or 10-inch oven-safe skillet.
- Make the topping: In the same bowl, combine the flour, oats, pecans, sugar and salt. Stir until well combined, then add the butter and mash it into the dry ingredients with your fingers until crumbs form. Pour the crumb topping evenly over the apples. Bake the crisp until the topping is golden and the juices are bubbling, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm with more warm caramel sauce and ice cream. Store any remaining sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week. It can be rewarmed for later use in a saucepan over low heat.
APPLE GINGERBREAD SKILLET CAKE
This gingerbread recipe came from my grandmother, and we always ate it with warm applesauce. I adapted it into a one-pan dessert by layering the apples around the bottom of a cast-iron skillet and topping them with the gingerbread batter. The skillet creates a wonderfully thick crust on the gingerbread. -Mary M. Leverette, Columbia, South Carolina
