Apple Puffed Pancake






6 large eggs

1 1/2 cups skim milk

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

4 apples, such as Gala or Red Delicious, peeled, quartered, cored and thinly sliced

1 tablespoon light-brown sugar

Confectioners' sugar, optional


Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine eggs, milk, and vanilla in the jar of a blender. Blend until well combined. Add flour, granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend until dry ingredients are well incorporated; set aside.


Place butter in a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Transfer dish to oven and heat until butter has just melted. Carefully remove from oven and place apples in a single layer in baking dish. Return to oven and cook until butter begins to bubble, about 4 minutes.


Pour batter over apples, sprinkle with brown sugar, and continue baking until puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired; serve immediately. Serves 6



We have this often. It is like a German pancake with apples and is delicious! I cut my apples into wedges and then use the cheese slicer on my grater to slice them smaller. Enjoy!


A note from Hailey:

"Well, this is what it looked like when I made it, very tasty! I added a few photos of the process but for some reason they are reversed, with the finished product first. I used a large food processor to mix the batter. And sprinkled a little more cinnamon on top along with the brown sugar before baking. We also sprinkled it with powdered sugar and a shaker of sugar & cinnamon I keep around for just such situations. Everyone liked it, thanks Liz!"
