How to Make Apple Puff Up Pancake

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) and place rack in the center of the oven.
  2. Peel, core, and thinly slice 1 medium apple (about 1 cup).
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup skim milk, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet (cast iron preferred) over medium heat.
  5. Spread the sliced apples evenly in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes, stirring gently.
  6. Flip the apples and cook for another 3 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon over the apples. Cook for 1 minute, or until the sugar begins to melt and caramelize.
  8. Remove the skillet from the heat. Gently stir the apples to coat them with the melted sugar.
  9. Pour the batter evenly over the apples in the skillet.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before cutting into 4 wedges.
  12. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
