   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.
