This dish would be just as welcome on the brunch table as on the dinner table, and I wouldn’t fault you for adding a little maple syrup—no matter which meal you serve it at.
Ingredients
4 or 5 servings
4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter
2 apples (such as Honeycrisp), cored and sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
8 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (preferably smoked or extra sharp; about 6 ounces)
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Step 2
Heat the butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once it’s bubbling, add the apples and ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are just tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
While the apples cook, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, and remaining ¾ teaspoon salt until mostly smooth. It’s okay if a few small lumps remain.
Step 4
Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the apples. Top with the shredded cheese. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.

This is a good recipe — it feeds a crowd or reheats well. Can go lighter on the flour, like 3/4. A cup. We add some diced jalapeño before baking. Smoked Gouda is great with this. A smokey cheese is the best, agree with other reviewers.

I made it with a bit more apples (Vermont of course, ) and used habanero cheddar (also local) cheese because we like things spicy. Yum - we will be certain to do it again and again by popular demand!

Left out the cheese, added cinnamon, nutmeg and a tablespoon of sugar. Drizzled on a bit of hot maple syrup, (the real stuff), before serving. Was delightful.

Really successful and very quick. One caveat is that I made this with dropped apples from my Mom’s ancient apple tree and those apples are superb in flavor. If you have a great Apple this really showcases the flavor. Also used Mom’s ancient cast iron pan, slightly larger than the 10-inches called for in the recipe. Cast iron is perfect for this recipe.

For Bob Bailey and Anon. You don't need the print button. On my mac, I just go to 'file' at the top of my screen and then hit that print button. It will automatically print the page in the print mode. For everyone else: Good recipe! Followed as written........

This was good. Thought it was odd that the only seasoning was salt, so tried maybe 1/8 tap of cinnamon and nutmeg. I'll add more next time. Would have been bland without. Can't wait to try different variations with this badder!

This dish hit the spot fir lunch on a rainy fall weather. I added arugula dressed with lemon, extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. I also dressed the dish with blue agave for extra moisture and cholula hot sauce. Simply amazing.

This was really tasty! I made the recipe as written but definitely over whisked the batter in order to get it very smooth -- this made my dutch baby very dense. But even with the denseness it was great with a small amount of agave syrup and lots of hot sauce. A simply dressed arugula salad rounded out the meal. I'll be taking slices for lunch this week!
