Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 Apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron), melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the granulated sugar and cinnamon, then add the sliced apples. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are tender and slightly caramelized. Remove the skillet from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps in the batter.
Pour the pancake batter evenly over the caramelized apples in the skillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (it will be very hot) and let the pancake cool for 5 minutes.
Dust the pancake with powdered sugar before cutting into wedges.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
