A delightful twist on the classic baked apple pancake, this recipe features caramelized apples and a fluffy batter baked to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve even baking.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
Uniform slices help the apples cook evenly.
In an oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring until combined. Add the apple slices and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the sugar from burning.
Separate the egg whites and yolks. Beat the egg whites in a mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, milk, flour, baking powder, and salt until smooth.
Use a clean bowl for the egg whites to ensure they whip properly.
Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter mixture until just combined.
Be gentle to maintain the airiness of the batter.
Pour the batter over the caramelized apples in the skillet. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden.
Avoid opening the oven door during baking to prevent deflation.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness.
