if you live on the east coast. particularly the mid Atlantic, then you should be able to find Washington baking products and mixes; //www.wrmills.com. These are very convenient, especially the cake and muffin mixes as they are packaged for a single batch. six muffins, one cake, etc. This recipe calls for two packages of the Washington Cornbread mix: if you can't find it, than one standard package of commercial cornbread mix should do. i haven't tried it in my Coleman oven yet, but it can be cut in half for a single 9x11 pan (I have my coleman oven set up with an extra rack to take two 9x11 pans). I imagine raisins or mincement could be added or substituted for the apple, but the apple tasted good.

This is called southern johnnycake to reflect the north/south influences. Jhonnycake is traditional New England cornbread, usually done in a spoonbread style, served with maple syrup for dippin'. Enjoy.
