Woo hoo! Just made this recipe exactly as you posted & no “STICKAGE” 😉 I did struggle with that cast iron pan flipping it over onto a board. You made it look so effortless. It was delicious & altho my husb hates fruit the apples were soft enough that he ate them & lived to tell the story. Ps I just finished stretch & folds on your rosemary bread so that will bake tomorrow. 😋

This looks absolutely delicious. When you make your sourdough bread do you test your starter using the float test?

Thank you for the good idea 💡 just wondering if the amount of sugar can be reduced or the type of sugar used be changed? Thank you

So Almond Flour isn’t something I stock. Can AP or BF be used to substitute?

[lbamusic]

Since I don't eat eggs I usually substitute organic Apple Sauce for them. Everything looks delish!

Could you spray lightly your cast iron pan with Pam prior to rubbing it w butter to prevent top sticking ? It really looks good…….
