Ingredients for Apple Puff Pancake

How to Make Apple Puff Pancake

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe frying pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until just combined; don't overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the peeled and thinly sliced apples.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared skillet.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve warm. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
