Pumpkin and apple come together in this beautiful skillet cake. It’s a light, fluffy cake that has just the right amount of sweetness. Celebrate Fall with this delicious dessert!
It’s about time I shared a pumpkin recipe this Fall! Since pumpkin desserts are so popular, it can be really hard to come up with an original idea. This is one that I think you will love!
Skillet cakes are a favorite of mine. They just look so pretty in my cute little cast iron skillets! This version is a simple pumpkin cake with chunks of fresh apples folded in.
If you can’t decide between pumpkin or apple this Fall, you’ve got to try this cake. The pumpkin cake is so moist and packed with pumpkin flavor. The apple chunks add a nice sweetness to each bite.

This cake was delicious just like this, but it would be great with some icing or glaze as well! If you want to dress up this cake, try adding a homemade or store-bought cream cheese frosting or a glaze. The maple glaze from my Apple Oatmeal Scones with Maple Glaze would be perfect!
