Ingredients

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 3 units large eggs
• 0.75 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated erythritol or other sugar substitute
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 units medium apples (Granny Smith recommended), thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In a blender, combine almond milk, eggs, whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon of erythritol, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until the batter is smooth and set aside.

Step 3

In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet or cast-iron pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the thinly sliced apples, lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon of erythritol, and nutmeg. Stir and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the apples begin to soften.

Step 4

Spread the apple mixture evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Pour the prepared batter over the apples.

Step 5

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.

Step 6

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (it will be extremely hot). Allow the pancake to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing into wedges.

Step 7

Serve warm. Optionally, sprinkle with a light dusting of cinnamon for garnish or serve with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream.
