Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and sliced
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for serving)
• 0 maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a large ovenproof skillet (preferably cast-iron), melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are softened and slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

In a blender, combine the flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until the batter is smooth and well combined, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly over the cooked apples in the skillet.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the pancake from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. The pancake will deflate slightly as it cools.

Step 8

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm, optionally drizzled with maple syrup.
