Breakfast Skillet Cake

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Heat a medium sized cast-iron skillet (approx 9") over low-medium heat. Once hot, add your sausages and cook through, turning every so often to ensure even cooking & browning.
  3. Remove from the heat and set aside. If there is a spoonful or more of grease in the pan, drain and set aside.
  4. Now, slice your sausages lengthwise (or chop into 1" bits if you like).
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the cinnamon and 1 Tbsp of sugar.
  6. In a larger bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 Tsp of the sugar.
  7. And yet in another bowl, combine the milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter.
  8. Combine both wet and dry bowls, whisking well. The batter should have little bubbles in it when you're done.
  9. Now, pour the batter into the slightly cooled skillet.
  10. Push in the sausages in all over the place. And top with the apples, dotting the cinnamon/sugar mixture over top and daub with the room temperature butter.
  11. Bake in the oven for 25 - 35 minutes, or until golden on top and starting to pull away from the sides of pan oh so slightly. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the middle - if it comes up clean, it's ready!
  12. Slice and douse with maple syrup.
  13. Eat.
