Dutch Baby Apple Puff Pancake
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, , melted
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, , divided
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ½ cup brown sugar, , divided
- 1 large tart apple, , such as granny smith, peeled, cored and very thinly sliced
Instructions
- Whisk eggs together. Add flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix in milk, stirring constantly. Add vanilla, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Let batter stand for 30 minutes. This step is very important.
- Preheat the oven to 425° F while batter is resting.
- Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch oven-proof skillet. (A well-seasoned cast iron pan works great for this.) Brush butter up on the sides of the pan. Combine ¼ cup brown sugar and other ½ teaspoon of the cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle sugar mixture over the butter. Lay apple slices evenly around pan. Sprinkle remaining ¼ cup brown sugar over apples. Place pan over medium-high heat until the mixture bubbles, then gently pour batter mixture evenly over apples.
- Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375° F and bake for 8-10 minutes more until pancake is puffed up and starting to brown. Cut into wedges. Serve immediately.
- Serve with syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit if desired.
Notes
Note: pancakes will start to deflate as they cool. That’s normal.
