Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
3 eggs
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Pinch salt
1/2 cup whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 lemon wedges

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a large ovenproof skillet (preferably with curved sides), melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices and cook, stirring, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar and stir to combine.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, milk, and flour. Pour this batter over the apples in the skillet, transfer to the oven, and bake until puffy, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Cut the remaining tablespoon of butter into pieces. When the pancake puffs, remove from the oven, dot with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and return to the oven to bake until browned, about 10 minutes more. As the pancake comes out of the oven, squeeze the lemon wedges over the top. Serve in wedges right out of the pan.

Tips

Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples that hold their shape when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
Peel and core the apples thinly: This will help the apples cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
Use a sharp knife: This will make it easier to peel and core the apples without bruising them.
Cook the apples over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
Add a little bit of sugar or other sweetener: This will help balance out the tartness of the apples and make them more palatable.
Serve the apples warm or at room temperature: This is the best way to enjoy their flavor and texture.
