0 Preheat oven to 350°F.
1 Melt the butter in an 8-inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat.
2 Once melted, stir in sugar and vanilla extract, then remove from heat and whisk until thoroughly combined. Allow the mixture to stand and cool for about 5 minutes. (If the mixture is hot when you add the eggs, they will scramble.)
3 Add the egg, and whisk into the mixture until smooth.
4 Then measure in the applesauce and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
5 Sprinkle in the flour, baking soda and salt. Stir carefully until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated.
6 Add the chocolate chips and walnuts, and fold the mixture together.
7 Smooth the mixture on top.
8 Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, and bake for 20-35 minutes or until dry on top, but slightly soft in the center.
9 Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes.
10 Serve warm, and enjoy with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of ice cream.
