A delightful twist on the classic pancake, baked in a skillet with caramelized apples for a warm and comforting treat.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Using unsalted butter allows you to control the saltiness of the dish.
Add the apple slices, cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice to the skillet and sauté until the apples are tender.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for consistent baking results.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, flour, milk, lemon zest, and melted butter until smooth.
Whisk vigorously to remove any lumps for a smooth batter.
Pour the batter over the cooked apples in the skillet.
Spread the batter evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
Bake in the oven until the pancake is puffed and golden.
Avoid opening the oven door during baking to maintain consistent heat.
Dust the pancake with powdered sugar before serving.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
