How to Make Apple Honey Dutch Baby

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, and 1 cup milk until smooth.
  3. Place 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet. Heat in the preheated oven for 3-4 minutes, or until melted and the butter coats the bottom and sides of the pan.
  4. Pour batter into the hot skillet.
  5. Bake for 16-20 minutes, or until the edges are puffed and lightly golden brown.
  6. While the Dutch Baby bakes, prepare the apple filling:
  7. In a medium saucepan, sauté 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced) in 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
  8. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until smooth.
  10. Add the cornstarch mixture to the apples and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  11. Reduce heat and cook for 2 minutes, or until thickened.
  12. Once the Dutch Baby is cooked, carefully remove it from the oven.
  13. Spoon the warm apple filling over the pancake.
  14. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
