Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • Pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 lemon wedges

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a large ovenproof skillet (preferably with curved sides), melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the apple slices and cook, stirring, until tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar and stir to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, milk, and flour.
  • Pour this batter over the apples in the skillet, transfer to the oven, and bake until puffy, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar.
  • Cut the remaining tablespoon of butter into pieces.
  • When the pancake puffs, remove from the oven, dot with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and return to the oven to bake until browned, about 10 minutes more.
  • As the pancake comes out of the oven, squeeze the lemon wedges over the top.
  • Serve in wedges right out of the pan.
