Apple Cinnamon Dutch Baby in a Cast Iron Skillet

I love Dutch Babies and I have several recipes. Some of them I've been making since the early 80's. If you have never made one....... and you do........ you'll make them over and over again. They are great for Christmas Morning, Brunch, or a Family Gathering.
