Directions
Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃).
Heat 2 tablespoon maple syrup and 1 teaspoon butter in a heavy 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
Add apples and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until slightly softened.
Remove from heat.
Using two spoons, arrange the slices, fanning them out from the center of the skillet.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, stir together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
In a small mixing bowl, beat together buttermilk, egg, remaining 1//4 cup maple syrup, remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter and oil. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture.
Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined.
Spread the batter evenly over the apples and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Invert onto a platter, cut into wedges and serve immediately, topped with more syrup.
