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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pannekoeken is puffed and golden around the edges.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pancake to cool slightly—it will deflate as it cools.

Step 8

Dust the pannekoeken with powdered sugar and slice it into wedges. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
