Chef's Note
For the puffiest Dutch baby, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. The key to success is preheating the skillet properly - it should be very hot when you add the batter. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, any oven-safe skillet will work, though cast iron gives the best rise and crispy edges.

Ingredients
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium Granny Smith apples
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- 1
Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C).
- 2
In a blender, combine the flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Blend on medium-high speed for 30 seconds, scrape down the sides, and blend for another 30 seconds until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
- 3
Meanwhile, peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss them in a bowl with the lemon juice, brown sugar, remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- 4
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and swirl to coat the bottom and sides of the pan.
- 5
Pour the batter into the hot buttered skillet and immediately return it to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are puffed and golden brown.
- 6
While the pancake is baking, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the apple mixture and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but still have some bite.
- 7
When the Dutch baby is done, remove it from the oven (it will deflate as it cools, which is normal).
- 8
Spoon the warm cinnamon apples into the center of the pancake, dust with powdered sugar, and serve immediately with maple syrup on the side.
- 9
Cut into wedges to serve.
