Ingredients

  • ¾ cup milk
  • 3 egg large
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon ground
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 2 apple peeled, cored, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt for topping

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 425˚F.
  • Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon in large bowl until well blended.
    ¾ cup milk, 3 egg, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, ¼ tsp salt, ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Add flour and whisk until batter is smooth. Set aside.
    ½ cup whole wheat flour, ¼ cup all purpose flour

Cast Iron Pan Method:

  • Heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Melt butter in the pan, and when the butter stops foaming, add the apples, arranging in an overlapping single layer. Let cook undisturbed on low for about 10 minutes, toss the apples around a little and cook for another few minutes.
    1 tbsp butter, 2 apple
  • Pour batter over apples in cast iron pan and sprinkle with brown sugar. Put the pan in the oven and bake until pancake is brown, and puffed, about 15-20 mins.
    1 tbsp brown sugar

Pyrex dish Method:

  • Place butter in an 8×8 inch glass baking dish (Pyrex). Place dish in oven until butter melts, about 5 minutes. Remove dish from oven. Place apple slices in overlapping rows on top of melted butter in baking dish. Return to oven and bake until apples begin to soften slightly and butter is bubbling and beginning to brown around edges of baking dish, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour batter over apples in baking dish and sprinkle with brown sugar. Put the pan back in the oven and bake until pancake is brown, and puffed, about 15-20 mins.
  • Portion and top with 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost.
    1 cup Greek yogurt

Cooking Tips

  • Alternative Sweeteners: Consider using sugar substitutes such as stevia or erythritol to lower the sugar content without sacrificing taste.
  • Skillet Management: Watch the apples closely during the skillet cooking stage to prevent burning and ensure even caramelization.
  • Serving: Serve the dish with Greek yogurt for additional protein and a tangy flavour that complements the sweetness of the apples.
