Description

A delightful fall recipe featuring a moist cake made with fresh cranberries and apples, baked in a skillet.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons coarse sugar (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a 10-inch ovenproof skillet with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  4. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the diced apples and cranberries until evenly distributed.
  6. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared skillet. Optionally, mix coarse sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top.
  7. Bake for 38 to 42 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the skillet for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Using a cast iron skillet enhances the flavor and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
