APPLE PUFF PANCAKE RECIPE

Provided by The Prairie Homestead

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons butter or coconut oil (but I prefer butter)
4 tablespoons sucanat/rapadura, divided ** (Like this)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thinly
3/4 cup whole milk
3 eggs
1/2 cup flour (I use unbleached all-purpose flour. You can use whatever you have)
1/2 teaspoon salt (I use this one)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. In a 10″ cast iron skillet, melt the butter and stir in 1 tablespoon sucanant and the cinnamon.
  • Cook the apples in the butter/sugar/cinnamon until they are soft and you have a lovely light brown syrup developing in the bottom of the pan from the delectable combination of the butter and sweetener.
  • Spread the apples out evenly over the pan, and remove from the heat.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. You can do this with a whisk, stand mixer, hand mixer, or blender. If you use anything other than a blender, you might have a slightly lumpy batter, but I've never had the lumps cause problems.
  • Pour the batter over the apples, and place the cast iron skillet in the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until puffed and brown.
  • Serve with fresh fruit and/or maple syrup, if you wish.

GERMAN APPLE PUFF PANCAKE



German Apple Puff Pancake image

We saw this recipe on Michelle Greenwald's (www.magicalmeltingpot.com)Yahoo Blog, and gave it a try. We both assumed it would be too sweet and gooey for breakfast, but since it's dreary and rainy this morning, figured we'd fire up the oven and give it a try. YUM! It wasn't too sweet at all, and the pancake had a bit of a custardy taste. It was easy to put together and made enough for the both of us, with a couple bites of crust left over for our four dogs. The recipe omits instructions for making up the batter, but we just combined the ingredients and mixed well. We used a 10-inch iron skillet, but any oven-safe non-stick pan would do.

Apple puff pancakes, also known as Dutch baby pancakes, are a delicious breakfast or brunch dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. These pancakes puff up in the oven, creating a light and airy texture that is similar to a popover. The addition of apples to the batter gives the pancakes a sweet and tangy flavor that is perfect for fall.

History

The origins of Dutch baby pancakes are not clear, but many believe that they originated in German-American households in the late 1800s. The name "Dutch baby" is thought to be a corruption of the German word "Deutsch," meaning German.

However, with the right tips and techniques, you can easily make these delicious pancakes at home. In this article, we'll share some valuable tips for making the perfect apple puff pancake recipe.

Tips for making apple puff pancakes

1. Choose the right apples
The type of apple you choose is crucial to the success of your apple puff pancake recipe. You want to choose apples that are firm, crisp, and slightly tart. Apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn are the best choice for this recipe. Avoid using apples that are too soft or mushy as they might break down and affect the texture of your pancake.
2. Prepare the apples properly
Before adding the apples to the batter, it's crucial to prepare them properly. Peel and slice the apples into thin slices and remove the core and seeds. You can also use a mandolin to slice them evenly. To prevent the apples from browning, you can toss them with a little bit of lemon juice.
3. Use the right pan
The next important step is to choose the right pan. A cast-iron skillet or an oven-safe non-stick skillet is an excellent choice for making apple puff pancakes. The pan should be large enough to hold the batter and the apples. It's essential to preheat the pan in the oven to ensure the pancakes cook evenly.
4. Make the batter properly
To make the perfect apple puff pancake recipe, you need to make a light and fluffy batter. The batter should be thick, but not too thick, as you want it to be able to rise in the oven. Sifting the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl will ensure that there are no lumps in the batter. Whisking the eggs and sugar until light and foamy will also help create a fluffy batter.
5. Cook the apples before adding them to the batter
To enhance the flavor and texture of the apples, you can cook them before adding them to the batter. Heat a small amount of butter in a skillet and add the sliced apples. Cook them for a few minutes until they're softened and slightly caramelized. This will give the apples a delicious flavor and prevent them from becoming too watery in the batter.
6. Rest the batter before baking
After you've made the batter, it's important to let it rest for at least 10 minutes. This will allow the gluten in the flour to relax, which will result in a lighter and fluffier pancake.
7. Bake the pancake correctly
Baking the apple puff pancake correctly is the key to making it light, fluffy, and golden brown. Preheat the oven to 400°F and place the skillet in the oven to get hot. Once the skillet is hot, add the apple slices to the bottom of the pan and pour the batter over them. Bake the pancake for 20-25 minutes until it's puffed and golden brown.
8. Serve the pancake immediately
Apple puff pancakes are best served immediately after they're baked. Serve the pancake directly from the skillet, topped with a dusting of powdered sugar, whipped cream, or your favorite syrup.

Conclusion

Making apple puff pancakes can be a bit tricky, but with these valuable tips, you can easily make the perfect pancake at home. Remember to choose the right apples, prepare them properly, use the right pan, make the batter correctly, cook the apples before adding them to the batter, rest the batter before baking, bake the pancake correctly, and serve it immediately. With these tips, you'll be able to create a delicious, light, and fluffy apple puff pancake that your family and friends will love.
