→ Apples
08 -
3 medium apples (or 2 large, about 1 1/2 lbs or 650g), peeled, cored, and sliced
09 -
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
10 -
1 teaspoon lemon juice
11 -
2 tablespoons sugar
12 -
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
13 -
2 tablespoons butter
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven to 425°F (220°C), letting it warm up. Put your skillet or baking pan in the oven while it heats so the batter inflates better later.
02 -
Using a blender? Throw in eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla, salt, and milk, then blend for about 30 seconds till smooth. Prefer doing it by hand? Combine eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a big bowl and whisk it all together. Slowly mix in the milk until the batter is nice and smooth. Set aside for now.
03 -
Peel your apples, cut away the cores, and slice evenly into consistent pieces.
04 -
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a big frying pan on high heat. Spread apples evenly in the pan and let them sit, unstirred, for about 2 minutes to get some color. Mix them up, then add sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Keep cooking for 2–3 more minutes until they soften and brown a little.
05 -
Take your hot pan or dish out of the oven and toss in 2 tablespoons of butter. Move the butter around so the entire bottom and sides are coated.
06 -
Pour the cooked apples into the buttered dish. Then, spread the pancake batter evenly on top. Pop it back in the oven and bake for around 15 minutes, or until it's puffed up and golden brown.
07 -
Take it straight out of the oven, portion it, and dig in right away. Don’t worry—it's normal for the pancake to shrink down after you take it out.
# Notes:
01 -
To measure flour right, fluff it up with a spoon, scoop it into your cup, and use a knife to level off the top.
02 -
Cooking apples separately while your pan heats lets the pancake puff up better. Try it to see if it works for you!
