- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 medium apples peeled and sliced
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet in the oven to heat up.

A Dutch Baby, also known as a German pancake, is a type of pancake that is cooked in a skillet in the oven. It’s typically thicker than a traditional pancake and has a slightly custardy texture. The Fluffy Dutch Baby with Caramelized Apples and Cinnamon Sugar takes this classic breakfast dish to the next level with the addition of sweet caramelized apples and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
To make the Fluffy Dutch Baby, you’ll need a cast-iron skillet, eggs, milk, flour, sugar, salt, and butter. The key to achieving the perfect texture is to preheat the skillet in the oven before adding the batter. This will help the pancake rise and become light and airy. Once the skillet is hot, add the butter and let it melt and sizzle.
While the skillet is heating up, prepare the caramelized apples. You’ll need apples, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Simply cook the apples in the butter and sugar until they’re soft and caramelized, then sprinkle with cinnamon and set aside.
Next, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, and salt until smooth. Pour the batter into the hot skillet and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown.
Once the Dutch Baby is cooked, remove it from the oven and sprinkle with a generous amount of cinnamon sugar. Top with the caramelized apples and serve immediately.
The result is a show-stopping breakfast or brunch dish that’s both delicious and easy to make. The Fluffy Dutch Baby with Caramelized Apples and Cinnamon Sugar is perfect for a special occasion or just a lazy weekend morning at home.
