Vegetarian Recipes: Apple Cornbread

Apple Cornbread

2 apples, peeled and chopped thinly
1 1/2 cup unbleached white flour
1 1/2 cup blue (or yellow) corn meal
3 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbs Sucanat
2 1/4 cup milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup apple sauce
2 Tbs maple syrup

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Oil a 10-inch iron skillet and heat in oven.

Peel apple and cut into very thin pieces of any size. In a large bowl, combine all other ingredients and then add apple. Do not overmix. Pour into heated iron skillet (or just oil a regular casserole pan), and bake 35-45 minutes on the top shelf. When an inserted knife comes out clean, it's done.

This recipe is very moist, but not soggy. If you're not interested in having a fat-free dish, add 3 Tbs of canola oil to improve the flavor a little bit. Also, flavored applesauce works well.
