Ingredients

  • FOR THE MAPLE ROASTED APPLES
  • 4 cups peeled and chopped apples
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon cold butter cubed
  • FOR THE DUTCH BABY
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat flour
  • a pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  • Set your oven to 425°F / 210°C and set your skillet in to heat with the oven.
  • FOR THE APPLES
  • Peel and chop your apples - you should have 4 cups of apples AFTER they have been peeled and cubed.
  • Place the apples in a bowl and toss with cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and the maple syrup.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and spread the apple chunks into a single layer.
  • Cut the cold butter into cubes, and sprinkle over the apples.
  • Set the apples in the oven, and roast for 15-20 minutes until they are soft, saucy, and golden.
  • FOR THE DUTCH BABY
  • Place the eggs, milk, whole wheat pastry flour, and salt into a blender. Blend for 1 minute, until the mixture is smooth and slightly foamy.
  • Remove the HOT skillet from the oven, and immediately add 2 tablespoon of butter, swirling to coat the pan as it melts.
  • Pour the batter over the melted butter, and place the skillet back into the oven.
  • Bake for 15 - 20 minutes until the Dutch baby is puffed and golden.
  • TO FINISH
  • Remove both the apples and Dutch baby from the oven.
  • Spoon the apples over the top of the Dutch baby, slice into wedges, and serve with butter and maple syrup.

Notes

You can cook the apples and the Dutch baby at the same time. Prepare the apples first, and slide them into the oven at the same time as the pancake goes in. They both take around 15-20 minutes to cook.
If you prefer, the apples can be made in advance and reheated at the last minute.
Leftover Dutch baby is great eaten cold or at room temperature the next day - not that I expect you'll have leftovers.
