Easy, Healthier Skillet (self-rising) Cornbread

If you don’t like sweetened cornbread and want to use your local self-rising cornmeal and buttermilk, this recipe is for you! If you don’t have applesauce or don’t want the “healthier” version, you can use 1/4 cup oil instead. For muffins, bake in hot, greased muffin pan at 450 for 15-20min. (makes 12). Make sure each cup is 2/3 full.
