Cornbread with Caramelized Apples and Onions

This Cornbread with Caramelized Apples and Onions is one of my new Thanksgiving recipes this year. I love the flavors of the caramelized onion, apple and thyme in this recipe. Cornbread is a fantastic side dish for any Thanksgiving meal. I know you’ll love it too if you make this one.

I start by heating a skillet in the oven. While it is heating, I combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl before whisking together milk, cream cheese, pumpkin, honey, and 7 tablespoons butter. Add the wet ingredients to the cornmeal mixture. Take the skillet from the oven and brush the bottom and sides with butter. Pour the cornbread batter into the skillet. Decorate the top with red onion slices and pumpkin seeds. Bake and serve drizzled with honey.

To make Cornbread with Caramelized Apples and Onions, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Cornbread with Caramelized Apples and Onions

1	Heat oven	1
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
2	Melt butter	2
Melt ¾ cups plus 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in an 8-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pour all but 2 tablespoons of the melted butter into a small bowl and set aside.
3	Cook onions	4
Add 1 medium sliced onion to the butter in the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and starting to brown.
4	Add apples, sugar and thyme	4
Add 2 sliced apples, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoons of the thyme and cook for another 4 minutes, stirring often, until the apples soften.
5	Transfer to bowl	1
Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and reserve the skillet.
6	Mix dry ingredients	1
Whisk 1½ cups of cornmeal, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar in a large bowl.
7	Add wet ingredients	3
Gradually whisk in 2 large eggs, 1½ cups of buttermilk, and ¾ cup of reserved melted butter until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
8	Fold in onion mixture	2
Fold in half of the onion mixture and scrape the batter into the skillet. Scatter the remaining onion mixture on top and sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of thyme.
9	Bake	40
Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10	Serve	1
Allow to cool slightly before serving alongside Thanksgiving dinner.
