An iron skillet cornmeal cake, cooked upside down, with brown sugar, berries, pecans and apples.
Apple Upside Down Cornmeal Cake
Pretty much everybody is familiar with Pineapple Upside Down Cake, but when I saw Sunny Anderson do an upside down cornmeal cake on one of her episodes, I knew I'd eventually get around to trying one of those.
As time went on, I had all but forgotten about it until I saw one featured in the October issue of Better Homes and Gardens Magazine.
Their version used apples, and I had plenty of apples on hand, so between these two resources, I came up with my own version.
I loved it!
The cornmeal cake is much less sweet than the regular sweet cake versions of upside-down cakes, especially those using boxed mixes, and I really loved the texture - perfect for a skillet cake.
I'm sure I'll keep tweaking this recipe, but I can definitely say I will be making this again, though next time I'm thinking pineapple ... with some maraschino cherries!
