A billowy, custardy pancake with tender, cinnamon-scented apples tucked right into the batter, perfect for brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 apples, peeled and sliced (e.g., Honeycrisp, Gala, or Braeburn)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Powdered sugar for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 10–12 inch oven-safe skillet in the oven.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt; whisk until lump-free and glossy. Let it rest for a couple of minutes.
  3. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and melt the butter over medium heat. Add apples and sprinkle with cinnamon; sauté for 2–4 minutes until softened.
  4. Pour the batter over the apples in the skillet (it should sizzle). Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, until puffed and golden.
  5. Remove from oven and cool for 3–5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
