Equipment

  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients
  

Sourdough Dutch Baby Batter

  • 3 eggs
  • 3 TBS unsalted butter melted salted or unsalted
  • 2 TBS milk can substitute water or dairy free milk
  • 2 TBS brown sugar honey or sugar
  • 1 cup sourdough discard (active starter or sourdough discard work well!)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt if salted butter used, leave out

Cinnamon Sugar Apples

  • 1 apple Peeled and sliced paper thin (About 1 cup worth)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Set oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven is heating, melt the butter in a cast iron skillet on the stovetop.
    Thinly slice the apples. To the melted butter, add the sliced apples, cinnamon and brown sugar. Allow the apples to cook down until the oven is preheated (about 5-10 minutes). The apples will still hold their shape, though they will become translucent in color.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sourdough dutch baby batter ingredients together. Stir until combined.
  • Pour the sourdough dutch baby ingredients into the cast iron skillet onto of the seasoned apple slices and melted butter.
    If you are putting a crisp topping, add it now.
  • Place the hot cast iron skillet into the hot oven.
    Allow the sourdough apple Dutch baby to cook until the center of the Dutch baby is cooked and it is very lightly golden brown in color (about 15-18 minutes). There will be crispy edges as the outside will cook before the center. The butter will bubble around the perimeter.

Notes

Achieving a fluffy dutch baby:
  • Do not open the oven door until the completely cooked as the Dutch baby can fall when exposed to cool air.
  • For a fluffy sourdough dutch baby, ensure the milk and eggs are at room temperature. This, combined with a hot pan will give the most rise to the dutch baby.
Apple Varieties
  • Any flavor and variety of apples will work. If you choose an apple variety on the sour side, consider adding more sugar to the cinnamon sugar apples - starting 1 TBS at a time.
