Gluten Free Skillet Cornbread with Apples and Thyme Recipe

Gluten Free Skillet Cornbread

2008 © Teri Lee Gruss
Gluten free cornbread with apples and thyme is a flavorful diversion from plain, often dry and bland cornbread. Apples add moisture and natural sweetness and thyme adds a nice savory note. Enjoy this easy-to-make cornbread with a spicy bowl of chili or use it to make traditional cornbread dressing.
