Ingredients for Apple Cinnamon Dutch Baby

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Apples
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

How to Make Apple Cinnamon Dutch Baby

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet or frying pan (3-4 quart). Place the skillet in the preheated oven to melt the butter.
  2. While the butter melts, peel, core, and thinly slice 2 medium apples (about 2 cups sliced apples).
  3. Remove the skillet from the oven. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar over the melted butter.
  4. Stir in the sliced apples, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Return the skillet to the oven for about 3 minutes to soften the apples slightly.
  6. In a blender, combine 4 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, and a pinch of salt. Blend on high speed for 1 minute.
  7. Reduce the blender speed to low and slowly add 1 cup of all-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Remove the skillet from the oven and carefully pour the batter over the apples and butter mixture.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed, golden brown, and set.
  10. Let cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar.
  11. Serve immediately in wedges. Enjoy with maple syrup, whipped cream, or savory additions like Canadian bacon or ham.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
