Apple Cinnamon Dutch Baby Pancake

As I have mentioned before, my family loves Dutch baby pancakes. The way it soufflés in the oven and puffs up, makes it so inviting and special. Since I had an abundance of apples this fall, I came up with an apple version that was just perfect for the season.


I prefer to sauté the apples first in some butter and cinnamon and get them cooked down a little before I pour the batter in. I have a thing with partially cooked apples, they just have this styrofoam texture that I don’t love. After that, it all comes together very easily and it’s a real show stopper with little effort.
