Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 large Apple (e.g., Fuji or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Whole milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.125 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 9-inch oven-safe skillet (such as cast iron) in the oven while it preheats.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Set aside to rest.

Step 3

Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the butter, swirling the pan until the butter is melted and coats the bottom and sides.

Step 4

Add the sliced apple to the skillet and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir gently to coat the apples evenly and spread them into an even layer.

Step 5

Return the skillet to the oven for 5 minutes, allowing the apples to caramelize slightly.

Step 6

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and pour the pancake batter over the apples evenly.

Step 7

Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools.

Step 9

Slice the pancake into wedges, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
