Ingredients

• 2 medium (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) apples
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0 optional (for dusting) powdered sugar
• 0 optional (for serving) maple syrup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into 1/4-inch slices.

Step 3

In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron), melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the apple slices to the skillet and sprinkle with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and caramelized. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Blend or whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.

Step 8

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven (handle will be hot). Let the pancake cool for 1–2 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm with maple syrup.
