Prep 20 mins | Cook 25 mins |

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
  • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla extract, salt, and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon until you have a smooth batter.
  • In a medium-sized ovenproof frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter or coconut oil over medium heat.
  • Add the apple slices, remaining cinnamon, and the sugar.
  • Cook, gently turning the apple slices continuously until they have softened and are evenly coated in the cinnamon sugar mix.
  • Transfer the apples to a plate and set them aside, then wipe the pan clean with kitchen paper.
  • Place the clean pan in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and melt the remaining butter or oil in it, tilting the pan to evenly coat the base and sides.
  • Return the cooked apple slices to the pan and pour the batter over them.
  • Place the pan back in the hot oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the pancake has puffed up.
  • The center should still have a slight wobble, and the outer edges should be a nice golden-brown color.
  • While wearing oven gloves, cut the pancake directly in the pan and serve it like a pie, sprinkling it with extra cinnamon.
  • Drizzle with maple syrup or honey if desired.

Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
