Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat up.
In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, flour, salt, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Carefully remove the hot cast-iron skillet from the oven. Pour the batter into the skillet.
Arrange the caramelized apples evenly over the batter.
Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately with maple syrup.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use a mix of apple varieties.
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for the best puff.
Serve immediately as the pancake will deflate as it cools.
