Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 large Apple (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- optional Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- optional Maple syrup (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Set the batter aside.
Place a 10-inch ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely, swirling the pan to coat the bottom and sides.
Add the sliced apple to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes until softened. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon and brown sugar over the apples and stir to combine.
Spread the apple mixture into an even layer on the bottom of the skillet. Carefully pour the prepared batter over the apples.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pancake cool slightly. It will deflate as it cools—this is normal.
Dust the pancake with powdered sugar, if desired. Slice into wedges and serve warm with maple syrup on the side.
