Apple Pancake Recipes

APPLE PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat; cook and stir apple slices, about 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon in butter until apples are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Beat eggs, milk, flour, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl until batter is smooth; pour batter evenly over apples.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Run a spatula around the edges of the pancake to loosen. Invert skillet over a large plate to serve.

APPLE PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• In an 8-inch nonstick skillet over low heat, combine the brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon and a pinch kosher salt. Melt together and whisk to combine. Turn the heat up to medium and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow to boil vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully add the apples and toss around until the apples are fully coated in the caramel. Reduce the heat to low and allow to bubble for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the apples begin to soften and appear translucent. Place the skillet onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (to catch any bubbled-over caramel) and bake for 5 minutes while you prepare the batter.
• In a large 8-cup liquid measure or large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until frothy. Add the buttermilk, flour, vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and the nutmeg if using. Whisk to combine until no longer lumpy.
• Open the oven and carefully remove the pan. Pour the batter into the skillet over the apples, swirling around the perimeter and ending in the center. (Beginning on the sides and working inward gives the pancake better structure instead of just pouring all of the batter in the middle. This will also ensure that the pancake "souffles" evenly). Place back into the oven to bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the sides have risen and the edges are dark. Remove from the oven and allow to settle for a minute or two. Carefully invert on a plate. Sprinkle with flaky salt and serve immediately.

PUFFED APPLE PANCAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon in large bowl until well blended. Add flour and whisk until batter is smooth. Place butter in 13x9-inch glass baking dish. Place dish in oven until butter melts, about 5 minutes. Remove dish from oven. Place apple slices in overlapping rows atop melted butter in baking dish. Return to oven and bake until apples begin to soften slightly and butter is bubbling and beginning to brown around edges of dish, about 10 minutes.
• Pour batter over apples in dish and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake pancake until puffed and brown, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve warm.

APPLE PANCAKES

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, melt butter and 3 tablespoons sugar. Add apple slices, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, milk, cinnamon, salt, and remaining tablespoon sugar. Pour batter slowly over cooked apple mixture. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake until dark golden brown, set in the center, and puffed around the edges, about 15 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar; serve immediately.
