3. Peel and core the apples. *I didn't follow what Claire did. She used a melon baller to core out the seeds and stems. I, however, used an apple corer. You of cos, can choose whichever method as desired.* Slice the apples into halves. Place them immediately, cut side down on the skillet. *The apples will oxidize fast, especially on the cored and cut sides. Do it this way will slow down the oxidization.*.
4. You may need 3 or 4 apples, depending on the size of your apples and skillet. Once all the apples are prepped, turn the heat up to medium. Cook until the bottom is golden brown. *You may have to rotate the skillet to allow even browning.*.

9. Continue whisking until well combine. Continue whisking, alternating between the pecan mixture and yogurt, 1/3 portion at a time, into the butter mixture until everything is fully incorporated. Lay the apples in the skillet with the cooled caramel, cut side down..
10. Spoon the batter over the apples, making sure all the nooks and crannies in between each apples are filled with the batter. Smooth the top surface with an offset spatula. *If your cast iron skillet comes with non-metal handle, wrap the handle with aluminium foil.*.
11. Wack into the oven and bake for 30 to 40 mins or until the top is evenly browned and the center springs back when gently pressed. Set aside to cool slightly, about 10 mins. Run along the edges with a sharp knife or an offset spatula..
