Apple German Pancake
Sometimes called a Duch baby, this Apple German Pancake is an impressive and incredibly easy to make dessert or breakfast.
Equipment
- 1 cast iron or oven proof skillet
- 1 blender or mixing bowl and whisk
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced (I use an apple corer slicer to make this easier)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 tsp tsp salt
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Peel, core and slice two Granny Smith apples.
- In 12" cast iron skillet or oven-proof skillet, melt 3 tbsp butter on stovetop.
- Place apple slices in the pan and sprinkle brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg over the apples. Stir to combine and cook until apples are soft and starting to carmelize on the edges. Spread apples out evenly on bottom of pan. Remove from the heat and prepare the batter.
- Whisk together or mix in blender the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, flour, salt and vanilla. There may be a few lumps in the batter. Pour batter over the apple mixture.
- Place skillet in oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until light golden brown.
- Serve dusted with powdered sugar and/or maple syrup.
- NOTES: *Slice apples thinly so they cook quickly and evenly. *Serve immediately; the pancake will deflate as it cools but is still delicious. *Try other variations: swap apples for blueberries or raspberries. Try using sliced peaches for a summer twist.
