Ingredients

• 8 oz Pork breakfast sausage
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 1 large Apple (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 Large eggs
• 2 tbsp Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 0.5 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 2 tbsp Powdered sugar (for garnish)
• 4 tbsp Maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a large, oven-safe skillet (10-12 inches in diameter), cook the pork breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the pan.

Step 3

Add 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Once melted, add the peeled and sliced apple. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apple slices are slightly softened. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 4

In a blender or large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole milk, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Blend or whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 5

Stir the cooked sausage pieces into the skillet with the apples. Pour the pancake batter over the sausage and apples, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Cut the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter into small pieces and scatter them over the top of the batter.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pancake cool for 5 minutes. It will deflate slightly as it cools, which is normal.

Step 9

Dust the top of the pancake with powdered sugar, slice into wedges, and serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with maple syrup for extra sweetness.
