Apple Buckle

Method

Preparing the Apple Buckle

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Eggs

    In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, until just combined.

  5. 5

    Add Apples

    Fold in the sliced apples gently until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
