This scalloped potatoes with apples dish is delicious with baked breaded pork chops, which you could cook at the same time in another cast-iron pan. We are retired, so it's just the two of us, but you could easily double the recipe to serve a crowd. —Shirley Rickis, The Villages, Florida

Ingredients
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup sliced sweet onion
