Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 tablespoons unsalted butter -- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp
1 medium onion -- thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt -- plus more for seasoning
2 medium apples -- red or pink skin, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons sugar
3 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves -- divided
1 1/2 cups cornmeal -- fine grind
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
The original recipe called for 3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp unsalted butter and 5
Tbsp sugar. We made it as written here and it was good. It could have
used a bit more salt, though.
Preheat oven to 400F. Melt butter in an 8" cast-iron or other
oven-proof heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Pour all but 2 Tbsp
butter into a small bowl and set aside.
Add onion to butter in skillet, season with salt and pepper, and
cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and beginning to
brown, about 4 minutes. Add apples, 2 tsp sugar (original: 2 Tbsp
sugar), and 2 tsp thyme and cook, stirring often, until apples are
softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer onion mixture to a medium bowl
and reserve skillet.
Whisk cornmeal, flour, baking powder and 1 tsp salt (original: add 3
Tbsp sugar) in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in eggs, buttermilk, and
1/4 cup (original: 3/4 cup) reserved melted butter until smooth (no
lumps should remain). Fold in 3/4 of onion mixture (original: 1/2
mixture) and scrape batter into reserved skillet. Top with remaining
onion mixture and remaining 1 tsp thyme.
Bake cornbread until golden brown and a tester inserted into the
center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
Do ahead: Cornbread can be made 6 hours ahead. Reheat before serving,
if desired.
