A warm and comforting baked pancake featuring tender cinnamon-spiced apples and a light, puffy Dutch baby batter. This oven-baked breakfast is simple to prepare and perfect for cozy mornings or brunch.

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 medium apples, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a cast-iron skillet or oven-safe pan inside to heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until the batter is smooth and slightly thin.
  3. Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
  4. Add the sliced apples to the skillet along with the brown sugar and cinnamon. Stir briefly so the apples begin to soften and release their aroma.
  5. Pour the prepared batter evenly over the apples in the hot skillet.
  6. Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 18–22 minutes until the Dutch baby is puffed around the edges and lightly golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and dust with powdered sugar.
  8. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Firm apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best because they hold their shape during baking.
  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra texture.
  • A pinch of nutmeg can enhance the warm spice flavor.
  • Drizzle maple syrup over the Dutch baby before serving for added sweetness.
  • Ensure the pan is very hot before adding the batter to help the pancake puff properly.
