How to Make Baked Apple Pancakes

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and brown sugar.

  5. Peel, core, and slice apples. Gently fold the apples into the batter.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Top with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.

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.
