Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Apple (e.g., Fuji or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9-inch oven-safe skillet (such as cast iron) in the oven while it preheats.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Set aside to rest.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the butter, swirling the pan until the butter is melted and coats the bottom and sides.
Add the sliced apple to the skillet and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir gently to coat the apples evenly and spread them into an even layer.
Return the skillet to the oven for 5 minutes, allowing the apples to caramelize slightly.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and pour the pancake batter over the apples evenly.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools.
Slice the pancake into wedges, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
