Smoked Cheddar-Apple Cornbread
An All-American twist on an All-American dish. Sweet and savory, and ULTRA moist, this is a recipe you'll make again and again.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Cornmeal
- 3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
- 4 Eggs
- 2 Cups Milk
- 1 Green Apple Chopped into Tiny Cubes
- 1 Cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese Grated
- 1/2 Cup Applesauce
- 1/2 Cup Butter Melted
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 2 TBS Baking Powder
- 1 TBS Colman's Mustard Powder
- 2 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven or smoker to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet or a 9x13 pan with a thick layer of butter.
- In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients, leaving out the cheese and apples.
- In another bowl, whisk together all wet ingredients.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients until just blended, then gently fold in cheese and apples.
- Bake for 35 minutes. (Depending on your altitude, it might take up to 45 minutes. You'll know it's done when a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean.)
Notes
*The mustard in this recipe gives the cornbread a delightful tangy zest, without overpowering the flavor. Colman's Mustard Powder is available on Amazon.
*Add jalapeno for a twist, or top with apple butter to enhance the sweetness.
