Instructions
👩🍳 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat oven and skillet.
Place your 10″ cast-iron skillet in the oven. Preheat to 425 °F (220 °C). Let it heat for at least 10 minutes. - Sauté the apples.
In a small pan, melt 1 Tbsp butter, then add apple slices, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sauté 3–4 minutes until softened but not mushy. Set aside. - Blend the batter.
Combine eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a blender. Blend 20 seconds until smooth (or whisk by hand until lump-free). Let rest 2–3 minutes. - Butter the hot skillet.
Remove skillet carefully (oven mitts!). Add 1 Tbsp butter, swirling until melted and bubbly. - Assemble and bake.
Spread sautéed apples evenly on bottom of pan. Pour batter over apples.
Bake 20–25 minutes until puffed, golden brown, and edges are crisp. - Finish and serve.
It’ll deflate slightly — normal! Dust with powdered sugar, squeeze lemon juice, drizzle maple syrup, and serve immediately.
