1. Prep
-
Preheat oven per box instructions. Grease an 8x8 pan or a small cast-iron skillet for extra cozy edges.
2. Mix
-
In a bowl, prepare the cornbread batter according to package directions, subbing apple cider for the liquid.
Fold in:
-
Diced apples
-
Cinnamon + cardamom
-
Optional butter and maple syrup
-
Do not overmix—gentle folds keep it tender.
3. Bake
-
Pour into prepared pan and bake according to package timing, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Let cool slightly (about 10 minutes).
-
Butter-Cardamom Glaze
-
Melt butter gently (microwave or small saucepan).
-
Whisk in powdered sugar, cardamom, salt, and apple cider until smooth and pourable.
-
Drizzle generously over warm cornbread so it melts into the top.
Note
Swede Dish Notes & Variations
- Savory-leaning: Reduce glaze and serve with sharp cheddar or whipped salted butter
- Extra Nordic: Add a pinch of nutmeg or grated apple instead of diced
- Dessert-y: Finish with flaky salt or chopped toasted walnuts
- Brunch move: Serve warm with yogurt or crème fraîche on the side
