Ingredients

Scale

Batter Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend as a substitute)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Apple Topping

  • 2 medium tart, firm apples (such as Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Additional

  • Butter, for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and thinly slice your apples. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté the apples with a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar until they are just tender and slightly caramelized. This enhances their natural sweetness and softens their texture for layering.
  2. Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until smooth and frothy. Gradually add the flour, cinnamon, and salt, stirring gently until just combined without overmixing to ensure a light and fluffy pancake.
  3. Assemble and Bake: Generously butter a deep baking dish or oven-safe skillet. Spread the sautéed apples evenly on the bottom, then pour the batter evenly over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes, or until the pancake has puffed up and turned golden brown around the edges.
  4. Serve Immediately: Carefully remove the pancake from the oven while it is still puffed. Serve hot with your favorite toppings such as powdered sugar, whipped cream, maple syrup, or Greek yogurt to enjoy a delightful combination of fluffy batter and tender apples.

Notes

  • Preheat your oven thoroughly to ensure the pancake puffs up evenly.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and better rise.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain fluffiness.
  • Butter the pan generously to prevent sticking and create a crisp crust.
  • Serve the pancake right away, as the puff will settle quickly once out of the oven.
