Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 large eggs
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 large apple (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) into the oven while it preheats.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apple. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour and salt to the egg mixture, whisking until smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Carefully remove the preheated skillet from the oven (using oven mitts) and add the butter. Swirl the skillet to evenly coat it as the butter melts.

Step 6

Arrange the apple slices in an even layer over the melted butter in the skillet. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the apples.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly over the apples and immediately place the skillet back into the oven.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pancake cool for 2-3 minutes (it will deflate slightly).

Step 10

Dust the pancake with powdered sugar, slice, and serve warm. Enjoy!
