Apple Dutch Baby
A dutch baby is a perfect cross between and dessert and breakfast. I would be lying to you if I said that this was my go-to breakfast or brunch on the weekend because the truth is, I resent making breakfast or brunch for my kids because I NEVER leave the kitchen but yet I still want to enjoy that time with them on the weekend. I am not one of those supermoms who wake up before her kids and has a hot beautiful meal waiting for them…my kids know that. Now having said all that, when I need an easy fancy breakfast, one that will score me some serious points, I turn to this recipe. When I need a dessert on the fly, and I have not planned for anything, I turn to this as well. You will likely have all the ingredients in your house. You can swap the apples for any other fruit. Enjoy and be your own superhero…
