Description

Cut this baked pancake in wedges and serve it with lemon wedges and powdered sugar for a unique and delicious Sunday breakfast.

Ingredients

  • ½ cups All-purpose Flour
  • 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • ⅔ cups Half-and-half
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1-¼ pound Apples (Gala Or Granny Smith), Peeled, Cored, And Cut Into 1/2-inch Slices
  • 3 Tablespoons Packed Brown Sugar
  • 1-½ teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 3 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar

Preparation

Place an oven rack in the upper-middle position and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, salt, nutmeg, and ground ginger. In a medium bowl, whisk together half-and-half, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour the half-and-half mixture into the flour mixture and whisk until smooth, without lumps.

In a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet set over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the apples and brown sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in lemon juice. Pour the batter around the edges of the pan and then over the top of the apples.

Place the skillet into the oven and immediately turn the heat to 425 degrees F. Bake until the pancake is brown and it has puffed above the edges of the skillet, about 15 to 18 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the edges of the pancake from the skillet and invert the pancake onto a serving platter. Sift powdered sugar over the top of the pancake and cut it into wedges. Serve immediately.

I loved the way this tasted, but to be honest I wasn’t a fan of the cooked apples, but the doughy pancake part was awesome (leave it to me to not like the one healthy bit of this recipe) however the BF loved it and he is picky when it comes to sweet things. This was easy and smelled wonderful, I think I’ll try it with different apples next time to see how it goes.

* if you’re baking in a skillet that has a gentle slope all will be fine; however, if your pan has a 90 degree angle (as mine did) the parts near the angle will be over done and stick to the pan, just an fyi.

It’s possible that you overcooked it a little. It should be dense and have a texture similar to Yorkshire pudding.

Made this for a lazy Sunday brunch. It tasted wonderful but the texture of the pancake part was a bit rubbery . . . did I do something wrong or is that how it is supposed to be?

Found the flavor to be a little on the mild side and would increase the spices a little next time – lovely with a little dusted powdered sugar and if you want it extra sweet add some maple syrup drizzle!
