Instructions
If your sausage is not already cooked, pre-cook the Sausages: Preheat oven to 350F. Place a rack on top of a baking sheet. Place sausages on rack, leaving space between each sausage. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Remove from oven and increase oven temperature to 425F.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the eggs together. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk well until frothy. Set aside.
In an oven-proof skillet on the stove-top, melt butter oven medium heat. Add sausages and cook, stirring regularly, until golden brown. Give batter a quick whisk, then pour oven sausages in pan. Quickly arrange sausages so they are scattered around the pan and not all in one spot. Place pan in pre-heated 425F oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until puffy and deep golden around the edges.
While the Dutch baby is baking, heat 2 Tbsp butter in a skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add the prepared apple slices and cook, stirring, just until they are tender-crisp. *Don't over-cook, or they will fall apart and/or be mushy. Cook them just until tender, but still holding their shape. Add brown sugar and maple syrup to the skillet and cook another couple of minutes. Turn off heat under pan.
When Dutch baby is cooked, remove from oven and allow to stand a couple of minutes, then pour the apples with any liquid in the pan over-top of the Dutch baby. Serve immediately, garnished with a bit of icing sugar, if you like.
