Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a blender, combine 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 3 large eggs, 3/4 cup whole milk, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds.
  2. Step 2: Place a 10-inch ovenproof skillet or cast iron pan on the stove over medium heat. Add 4 tbsp unsalted butter and melt until foaming but not browned.
  3. Step 3: Pour the batter into the hot buttered skillet and immediately transfer to the oven. Bake for 15 minutes until puffed and golden.
  4. Step 4: While the Dutch baby bakes, heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp butter and 2 medium thinly sliced apples, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Remove the Dutch baby from the oven; it will deflate slightly. Top with the warm caramelized apples and dust generously with powdered sugar.
  6. Step 6: Slice into wedges and serve immediately for a sweet and spiced brunch treat.
