My Apple and Cinnamon Dutch Baby is a show-stopper of a breakfast, with it’s pillowy center, caramelized and crisp edges and topping of soft apples, spices and a dusting of powdered sugar. This breakfast may look like it took all morning to make, but quite honestly, it’s easier to make than American pancakes.
To start, preheat an oven to 425 deg F. Peel, core and finely chop one apple. Place the chopped apple into a small bowl and mix in ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 3 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix ¾ cup of all-purpose four, ¼ cup of sugar and a pinch of salt together. In a third bowl, whisk together ½ cup of milk, 3 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and whisk until the batter is smooth.
On the stovetop, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet. Swirl the butter around the bottom and sides of the pan. Pour the batter into the skillet and top the batter with the reserved apples. Bake the Dutch Baby for 15 minutes until puffed up and golden brown. Sprinkle the baked Dutch Baby with ¼ cup of powdered sugar and serve immediately. This recipe serves four.
