How to Make Aepfelkratzet Apple Scramble

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt until a smooth batter forms.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large oven-safe skillet (10-12 inches) over medium heat. Add the sliced apples and cinnamon (if using) and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened slightly.
  3. Pour the batter evenly over the apples in the skillet.
  4. Dot the top of the batter with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  5. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook over medium-high heat until you see steam escaping from the edges (about 5 minutes).
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and continue cooking for 10 minutes, without lifting the lid.
  7. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 15 minutes to allow the dough to fully cook.
  8. Dust with extra granulated sugar before serving warm. Enjoy!
