The Dutch Baby is a classic breakfast or brunch option that originated in Germany, traditionally served with powdered sugar and lemon wedges. It's a cross between a pancake and a popover, with a thin batter that's poured into a hot skillet and baked in the oven until puffy and golden brown. This 20-Minute Apple Dutch Baby puts a twist on the classic recipe by adding chopped apples to the skillet, creating a sweet and fruity bottom layer. It's a quick and easy breakfast option that's perfect for lazy weekends, and can be customized with different fruits or toppings to suit your preferences.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 425°F.
2.	In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, whisk in 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 tablespoon sugar, and the chopped apple. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the apples are coated in the butter mixture.
3.	Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk 3 eggs. Gradually add in 3/4 cup all-purpose flour and whisk until just combined. Then gradually add in 3/4 cup milk, whisking until well combined.
4.	Once the apples are coated in the butter mixture, pour the batter over the apples, distributing it evenly in the pan.
5.	Transfer the pan to the oven and bake the Dutch Baby for about 13-15 minutes, until golden brown and puffy.
6.	Serve immediately, with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
