"The Oven's Broke" Skillet Apple Upside Down Cake

8 eggs
One and a quarter cup maple syrup
2 apples
1- 1.5 cups potato flour
juice of one lemon
ghee or butter
Salt

Heat a 9 inch cast iron skillet on medium, melting a generous amount of ghee or butter on the bottom
Turn skillet to low heat
Slice apples into wedges like for a pie
Mix eggs, maple syrup, salt and the juice of one lemon in a mixing bowl until frothy
Add potato flour in small amounts until cake mixture resembles that stuff you get from Duncan Hines.
Cover bottom of the skillet with apples but don't stack them. If there are extra, just have a snack.
Pour the cake mixture into the skillet and cover with a lid.

The liquid from the apples will help steam cook the cake. It takes about 30 minutes and can be checked like a normal cake with a toothpick or a fork. You should also smell check it once in a while since it's not possible to see if it's burning on the bottom. You can also use other fruits like pears, maybe peaches in the summer, or pineapple. Just make sure there is enough butter or ghee to caramelize the fruit and not let it stick.
