Serves: 3
Prep: 15 minutes
Bake: 18 minutes
1 | tablespoon unsalted butter |
2 | large apples, peeled and diced |
¼ | cup brown sugar |
¼ | teaspoon ground cinnamon |
¾ | cup all-purpose flour |
1 | tablespoon granulated sugar |
½ | teaspoon salt |
3 | large eggs, beaten |
1 | cup whole milk |
1 | teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 | teaspoon lemon juice |
powdered sugar for sprinkling |
1. Pre-heat oven to 425°F.
2. In large oven proof skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar and cinnamon to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
3. While apples are cooking, prepare batter. In medium bowl combine flour, granulated sugar and salt. In a small bowl whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla extract. Pour milk mixture into flour mixture and whisk until just combined. Set aside until apples are finished cooking.
4. Remove skillet from heat. Stir lemon juice into apple mixture. Pour batter into skillet, starting by pouring in a circle around the outer edge of the apples and then filling in the center. Place skillet in oven.
5. Bake, uncovered, 18 to 20 minutes, until edges are puffed up and lightly browned. Remove skillet from oven. Flip pancake out onto large cutting board. Scrape any apples left in the skillet out with a spatula and place on top. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into 6 pieces. Serve immediately.
