Tips:

  • Select the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, which hold their shape well during cooking.
  • Shred the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help the frittata cook evenly and prevent sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: Leave some space between the apple slices so they can cook properly.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat: This will help prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
  • Cover the skillet while cooking: This will help the frittata cook evenly throughout.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before serving: This will help it hold its shape when you slice it.
