I don’t even remember where I got this yummy recipe, but it is a delicious and wonderful breakfast food, or my hubby and I eat it for dinner when we want something easy and filling. It has a few steps, but don’t let that intimidate you. It’s easy and practically fool proof.
Here is a picture of my recipe. You can see it’s well-loved.
I had a ton of apples left over from a picnic, so I used these, but I think the dish is better with tart apples, like Granny Smith. But you can use whatever apples you like.
Toss the apples in cinnamon, lemon juice, and powdered sugar, then microwave.
Pour the egg mixture over the microwaved apples.
Bake until an inserted knife comes out clean. Doesn’t this look beautiful?
It doesn’t come out of the pan in neat slices. It’s more like a pile of apple/eggy goodness. Serve it hot! I like it with maple syrup drizzled over the top. Delicious!
