Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced thinly
- 0.33 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch (25 cm) oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan in the oven while it heats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Let the batter rest for a few minutes while preparing the apple filling.
In a separate skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the peeled and sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
Carefully remove the heated skillet from the oven (using oven mitts). Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the hot skillet and allow it to melt, swirling it around the pan to coat evenly.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet and quickly spread the cooked apple mixture on top in an even layer. Return the skillet to the oven.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pannekoeken is puffed and golden around the edges.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pancake to cool slightly—it will deflate as it cools.
Dust the pannekoeken with powdered sugar and slice it into wedges. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
