A stunning oven-baked pancake with puffed edges and a custardy center, topped with buttery caramelized apples for a perfect combination of comfort and elegance.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
  • 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced thinly)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • Juice of half a lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place your skillet in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Alternatively, blend the ingredients in a blender for an ultra-smooth batter.
  3. Once the skillet is hot, carefully remove it from the oven and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Swirl it around to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet.
  4. Quickly pour the batter into the hot skillet and return it to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pancake is puffed and golden.
  5. While the pancake is baking, melt the remaining butter in a separate pan over medium heat. Add the apple slices, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook until the apples are tender and caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. Once the pancake is done, remove it from the oven and top it with the caramelized apples. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

[‘Preheat your skillet thoroughly for puffed edges.’, ‘Resist opening the oven while baking to maintain consistent heat.’, ‘Slice apples thinly for even caramelization.’, ‘Serve immediately for the best texture as Dutch baby pancakes deflate quickly.’]
