Dutch Apple Pancake
Serves 2 to 4.
Ingredients
- 4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 Golden Delicious apple, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbs. granulated sugar
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- Confectioners’ sugar for dusting
Directions
Preheat an oven to 400ºF. Butter a 10-inch ovenproof braiser or fry pan.In another fry pan over medium heat, melt 2 Tbs. of the butter. Add the apple, cinnamon and granulated sugar and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the apple begins to soften and brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside.
In a bowl, using a whisk, beat the eggs. Add the milk and whisk until blended. Sift the flour and salt into the egg mixture and whisk until just blended. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the remaining 2 Tbs. butter. Add the butter to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and arrange the apple slices evenly on top. Bake until the pancake is browned and puffed up, 25 to 30 minutes. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

This is a tarte, not a Dutch apple
If youre looking for the classic restaurant/house of pancake version youre gonna need more….if everything. 7 eggs, 7 apples (medium honeycrisp) a half stick of butter, two tablespoons canola, 1cup sugar, one cup milk, cinnamon, 1cup flour. The goal is a custard floury dough between the fried apples. Youre gonna need a bigger pan. I use the Staub 3.75 essential oven. Photo is prior to basting with butter and dusting with Demerara before browning. Serves my family of 7.

Great Recipe!
This is a great recipe! I have read all the reviews and do have some suggestions for those who have complained. Your pancake will taste "eggy" if your eggs aren't fresh. Also, be sure to only use the amount of butter listed in the recipe. If you use too much it won't puff up! Also, I never butter my pan but always use a spray oil or, better yet, Baker's Joy. I have made hundreds of these pancakes--no exaggeration--and they are always requested. Also, just use the apple that tastes best to you! I have had always had success with whatever is on hand. Also, feel free to add almonds, walnuts, currents or whatever you like mixed in with the apples while cooking. I always use my Le Creuset 2 1/4 quart brasier with great success. Enjoy!

Use a tart apple
Red delicious apples don't have enough flavor and don't hold up to the 2 step cooking process. Use a Granny Smith or any tart baking apple for the most flavor and so the apple doesn't just "melt" into the pancake. A baking apple will soften but still have texture.
All in all, not a bad recipe but most recipes call for 3 eggs and 1/2 cup flour so make sure you are using extra large or jumbo eggs if only using 2 eggs. If using medium or large eggs, use 3 eggs. It is an "egg-y" dish. Think crepes over pancakes...pancakes are bread like and crepes are thin and egg-y....Dutch Babies are not bread like (not truly a pancake at all) they are egg-y. Know what you are making before you complain about wasting a Saturday morning making a dish. If you don't like a dish its not the recipe's fault, you just don't like a dish. I don't make pistachio pudding if I only like chocolate pudding......please!

No Richard walkers...!
I followed the recipe exactly - I thought it was too eggy and not sweet enough and not enough apples. I Was really disappointed because I wasted a perfectly good Saturday morning making this!

Light and Delicious
Made this for breakfast this morning and followed the directions exactly. OMG!! This was outstanding. I was a little hesitant to try it because I always find pancakes to be too heavy and can barely finish one, but this was so light and the apples made it so fresh tasting. I dusted with powdered sugar and did not need syrup. On top of that, it was so easy to prepare. This will be part of my weekend breakfast rotation. I am going to try this with fresh/frozen peaches.
