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

• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a large ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron), melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Pour the pancake batter evenly over the caramelized apples in the skillet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.

Step 7

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (it will be very hot) and let the pancake cool for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Dust the pancake with powdered sugar before cutting into wedges.

Step 9

Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
