Ingredients for Baked Apple Pancake

How to Make Baked Apple Pancake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe skillet with butter.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Arrange apple slices in the bottom of the prepared skillet, slightly overlapping.
  6. Pour the batter evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the pancake is golden brown.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired.

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.
