How to Make Arkansas German Baked Pancake

  1. **Make the Apple Filling:** Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 4 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended).
  3. Cook, stirring frequently, for 12-15 minutes, until apples are tender but not mushy.
  4. Gently stir in 1/4 cup honey.
  5. Cook for another 2 minutes, until heated through.
  6. Set aside and keep warm.
  7. **Make the Pancake:** Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven for 5 minutes to heat.
  8. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 cups milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  9. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth and frothy (about 2 minutes).
  10. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
  11. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  12. Remove the hot skillet from the oven and melt 2 tablespoons of butter in it.
  13. Pour the batter into the hot skillet.
  14. Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 15 minutes.
  15. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C).
  16. Continue baking for 8-10 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  17. Carefully remove the pancake from the oven.
  18. Spoon the warm apple filling evenly over the pancake.
  19. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and dollop with whipped cream (optional).
  20. Let cool slightly, then cut into wedges and serve immediately.
