Serving Size: 15

Cooking Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 15 Ounces (oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
• 1 Cup sour cream
• 2 Large eggs, whisked
• 0.25 Cup butter, melted
• 1 Cup self-rising cornmeal
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) white sugar
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) applesauce

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray to ensure easy removal of the cornbread after baking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained corn, sour cream, whisked eggs, and melted butter. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Gradually add the self-rising cornmeal, white sugar, and applesauce to the wet mixture. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
6. Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help maintain its structure and prevent it from becoming soggy.
7. Serve warm with butter, honey, or your favorite jam for an extra touch of sweetness. Enjoy this versatile cornbread as a side dish or a standalone treat!
