Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Fuji), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 3 Large eggs
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or cast-iron pan on the stovetop over medium heat and melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Step 3
Add the apple slices to the skillet and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir occasionally, cooking for about 5–7 minutes, until the apples are softened and caramelized.
Step 4
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the apples, stir, and remove the skillet from heat.
Step 5
In a blender, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup whole milk, 3 large eggs, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Blend on high speed for about 20–30 seconds until smooth. Alternatively, whisk the ingredients vigorously in a mixing bowl to remove any lumps.
Step 6
Pour the batter evenly over the caramelized apples in the skillet.
Step 7
Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown on top.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pancake to cool slightly. It will deflate as it cools—this is normal!
Step 9
Dust the pancake with powdered sugar if desired and slice into wedges. Serve warm with maple syrup on the side.
