Dutch Baby with sauteed apples
Dutch Baby with sauteed apples is THE perfect cozy breakfast!
have you ever made a dutch baby?
We love a good Dutch Baby around here, and if you try it once I know you will too. A Dutch Baby, sometimes called a German Pancake, is an oven-baked batter that is made in the blender. It requires just a few very simple ingredients, that you probably already have on-hand, and takes all of 5 minutes to whip up.
The batter is baked in a scorchingly hot skillet filled with melted butter, and puffs up in the oven. This makes for a stunning presentation and a base that can be topped and customized as you like!
what ingredients do you need?
With a nod to cooler temps I decided to top this Dutch Baby with simply spiced sauteed apples, made in the same pan as the pancake:
- maple syrup
- lemon juice
- ground cardamom or cinnamon
- kosher salt
- Granny Smith apples
- unsalted butter
- eggs
- all-purpose flour
- whole milk
- granulated sugar
how do you make Dutch Baby with sauteed apples?
Start by making the apples. Combine maple syrup, lemon juice, cardamom (or cinnamon) and salt in a medium bowl, then toss in your sliced apples and coat well. Melt butter in a 10″ skillet and add the apples, sauteeing till just softened. Transfer the apples to a bowl, then cool and wipe down the skillet.
For the Dutch Baby batter, blend eggs, milk, flour and sugar till smooth and let the batter sit for about 10 minutes. Pre-heat your oven in the mean time.
Place butter in your wiped-down skillet and melt in the oven. Tilt the skillet to coat it with the butter, then pour in your batter. Bake till golden brown and puffed up, let rest for a few minutes, then serve with your sauteed apples!
While I’m never going to contest the deliciousness of a stack of pancakes, they do require time spent over the stove, cooking and flipping. This Dutch Baby is a more relaxed pancake, ideal for a small crowd and so cozy and good.
