🍎 5-Minute Apple Frittata in a Pan

Sweet, soft, and golden—like French toast meets pancake in an Italian kitchen!

🕒 Ready In: 10 minutes (5 prep + 5 cook)

🍽️ Serves: 2–3

🛒 Ingredients

• 2 medium apples (crisp, like Fuji or Gala)
• 2 eggs
• 3 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
• 2 tbsp milk or plant-based milk
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional, but delicious)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or almond flour for GF option)
• 1 tbsp butter or oil for the pan
• Powdered sugar or honey for topping (optional)

🔪 Instructions

1. Prep the apples

• Peel (optional) and thinly slice the apples. Aim for about 1/8-inch slices so they cook quickly.

2. Make the batter

• In a bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until frothy.
• Add milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and flour. Mix until smooth.

3. Cook it up

• Heat butter or oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Add apple slices and sauté for 2–3 minutes until they start to soften.
• Pour the batter evenly over the apples.
• Cover with a lid and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and the top is mostly set.

4. Flip or fold

• Option A: Flip the frittata onto a plate and slide it back into the pan to cook the other side for 1 minute.
• Option B: Fold it in half like an omelet—no flipping stress!

5. Serve

• Slide onto a plate, dust with powdered sugar, or drizzle with honey or maple syrup. Enjoy warm!

✅ Do’s

• ✅ Use a small skillet (6–8 inch) for a thick, fluffy result.
• ✅ Try with pears or bananas for a twist!
• ✅ Great for kids or quick desserts too.

❌ Don’ts

• ❌ Don’t skip covering—it helps the top cook through quickly.
• ❌ Don’t overcook the apples—you want them tender, not mushy.
• ❌ Don’t walk away—it’s fast and easy, but also easy to forget on the stove!
