This morning I was craving something delicious made with apples … most likely because yesterday we went out to an orchard to pick some apples and of course we have a lot of apples now. Then I remembered I could easily make Dutch baby and put apples in it. Dutch baby is made with three basic ingredients: milk, eggs and flour and seasoned with vanilla and apple spice. I also added apples to satisfy our autumn cravings. Watch it poof up in the oven and wow your friends and family with this tasty filling breakfast. I served it with caramel sauce that further please those ‘autumnish’ cravings … Oh and I still have raspberries growing in my back yard so I had to use some.

You will need a 10″ (2 inch deep) oven proof skillet or soemthing similar in size to bake this dish.

Preheat the oven to 425 F.

Mix flour, milk, eggs, salt, vanilla, 2 Tbsp melted butter, sugar, apple spice until no lumps remain. You can use an electric beater on high speed for 1 minute but it can easily done by hand too. Let it rest for 1 hour if possible. It can be made the day before and stored in the fridge, just let it warm up to room temperature.

Meanwhile gently warm up a little butter in a pan. Caramelize the apple slices on both sides. Set aside.

When dough is ready, heat up skillet and put in the butter, caramelized apple slices and pour the batter in.

Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the top is nice and golden brown. The pancake will be puffy but will settle after 5-10 minutes.

Serve with powdered sugar, ground walnuts, caramel sauce and fruits – of course all optional.
