Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat the eggs well and add the sugar and salt slowly.
- Beat until the sugar is dissolved.
- Add the flour and baking powder, and beat until smooth.
- Stir in the finely chopped apples.
- Pour the batter into a buttered 9-inch dish and bake at 325°F for 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating cinnamon or nutmeg into the batter. If you're out of eggs, unsweetened applesauce can be used as a substitute, using 1/4 cup for each egg. Ensure your apples are well-chopped to distribute evenly throughout the batter. For a gluten-free version, try using almond flour instead of regular flour, which will give a nice nutty flavor.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual servings in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or until warmed through. You can also enjoy it cold or at room temperature, making it a versatile treat for breakfast or dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of apples in this recipe?
Yes, you can use various apple types depending on your preference. Tart apples like Granny Smith add a nice contrast to the sweetness, while sweeter varieties like Honeycrisp will enhance the overall flavor. Mixing different types can also create a delicious complexity in taste.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. However, for best texture, bake it fresh the next day. If you have leftover baked Apple Stir About, it keeps well in the fridge, making it perfect for meal prep.
What can I do if my batter is too thick?
If your batter seems too thick, try adding a splash of milk or apple juice to loosen it up. Start with a tablespoon at a time until you achieve your desired consistency. However, be cautious not to make it too runny, as the apples will release moisture during baking.
