Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 2/3 cup whole milk
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 to 2 medium apples, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Place a cast iron skillet inside to heat up.
- In a blender or bowl, mix eggs, milk, flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from the oven. Add butter and let it melt, then add sliced apples and return to oven for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
- Pour the batter evenly over the apples in the hot skillet. Do not stir.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until puffed and golden on the edges.
- Remove from oven. It will deflate slightly—this is normal. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with syrup if desired.
- Slice and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Let the batter rest before baking for better puff.
- Use room-temperature ingredients for optimal results.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and appearance.
