Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium fresh apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat.
- In a blender, combine eggs, milk, flour, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and frothy.
- Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the butter, swirling to coat the pan evenly.
- Pour the batter into the hot skillet and immediately return it to the oven.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, until puffed and golden around the edges.
- While the Dutch baby bakes, cook the apples in a skillet over medium heat with brown sugar and cinnamon until softened and lightly caramelized.
- Remove the Dutch baby from the oven, top with warm apples, and dust with powdered sugar.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
The Dutch baby will deflate as it cools, which is normal.Serve immediately for best texture.Thinly sliced apples cook more evenly.A hot pan is essential for proper rising.
