APPLE GINGERBREAD SKILLET CAKE
This gingerbread recipe came from my grandmother, and we always ate it with warm applesauce. I adapted it into a one-pan dessert by layering the apples around the bottom of a cast-iron skillet and topping them with the gingerbread batter. The skillet creates a wonderfully thick crust on the gingerbread. -Mary M. Leverette, Columbia, South Carolina

[email protected]This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the apples were mushy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]I had some trouble getting the cake to cook evenly. The edges were overcooked while the center was still raw. I think I'll try baking it at a lower temperature next time.
