Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (240 ml)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (95 g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (1.5 g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar (25 g)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (42 g)
  • 2 medium apples, thinly sliced (about 300 g)
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (2 g)
  • Powdered sugar to dust, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, flour, salt, vanilla extract, and sugar until smooth.
  3. In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples and sprinkle with ground cinnamon. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until apples start to soften.
  4. Pour the batter over the apples in the skillet.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
  7. Serve warm, slicing it into wedges.

Notes

For texture and timing tips, consider using a firmer apple for better structure during baking.
