*Make this in either a 10 or 12 inch cast iron skillet, oven safe skillet, or Dutch oven.  
**Use either a hand mixer, blender, or vigorously whisk by hand. Be sure to incorporate air and
make the batter fluffy.  
Substitutions:
Apples: Fresh berries, reduce the apples, or even bake without fruit and top it after it's baked.
All Purpose Flour: Gluten free or other nut flours. 
Sugar: Use a sugar substitute or maple syrup, honey, or agave
Lemon Juice and Confectioner's Sugar: Berries, maple syrup, chocolate chips, whipped cream, or

We prefer this packed with apples so we use 1 1/2 cups but you could use as little as 1/2 cup,
dependent upon your preference.
