Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 large apple, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, divided
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 large eggs at room temperature
  • ¾ cup reduced-fat milk, warm
  • 3/4 cup flour (I use a mixture of all purpose and white whole wheat flour)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon powdered sugar (optional)
  • Maple syrup for serving (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet (preferably cast-iron). When it is melted, add the apples, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir to combine. Cook until apples start to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • While the apples cook, melt the remaining tablespoon butter in the microwave. Pour it into a blender along with the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, salt, and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Blend until smooth. Alternatively you can whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl until blended and light yellow. Then whisk in the flour, vanilla, salt, and sugar until smooth.
  • Pour the batter over the apples in the skillet and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until puffed up and golden brown. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup, if desired. Serve immediately, as it will start to fall within minutes of being taken out of the oven.
