👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking dish.
In a bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt.

💡 TIPS
Use sweet apples like Fuji or Gala for best flavor.
Slice apples thinly so they cook evenly and create a creamy texture.
Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a bakery-style finish.
Serve warm for extra softness or chilled for a firmer, custard-like bite.
Add a pinch of cinnamon for a cozy twist.
