Recipe Notes
- Please be careful when you handle iron skillets. Always make sure to use a heat resistant mitt or glove when handling them. I speak from experience.
- You can also put this in a 9″x9″ baking dish as well. It might require a few extra minutes of baking as the iron skillet was already up to oven temperature.
- You can adjust the cinnamon to your taste or add other complementary spices to your mix.
- You can sprinkle a little bit of Truvia on the top, if you like. Go light though.
