A perfect fall breakfast this Cinnamon Apple Topped Dutch Baby is very easy to make. The batter for the dutch baby pancake is made in the blender and the cinnamon apples are made easy on the stove while the pancake bakes.
I wanted to make a really fun fall flavored breakfast and ladies and gentleman I found myself a winner, need proof? My 2 year old spent all last weekend asking me for “apple pamcakes”, it was so adorable I made this delicious Cinnamon Apple Topped Dutch Baby Pancake for him without reservation.
So in case you haven’t made a dutch baby pancake before I need to let you know, they are so so so much easier then they look. I was intimidated by them for forever until I actually caved in and made one and guess what, now I actually prefer making these to regular pancakes because yes they are that simple.
Your skillet is preheated in the oven and all of the pancake ingredients are mixed in a blender and then the batter is simply poured into the skillet and baked. So much easier then flipping a bunch of pancakes right!?
So to spice this dutch baby pancake up I wanted to make something fun with apples to top it off. So I made simple cinnamon apples on the stove top while the dutch baby is cooking, and the result is mouth watering!
So have some delicious fun this weekend and make your family a Cinnamon Apple Topped Dutch Baby.
TIPS & TRICKS:
• I use a Lodge Cast Iron Skillet, 12-inch and while this pan is the lifeblood of my kitchen and couldn’t give it anymore praise this dish can be made with any oven safe skillet
• For the apples make sure you use a harder textured variety, if you use a soft apple the slices will start to fall apart as you cook them
• I think that this taste delicious without any extra whipped topping but if you want to indulge yourself go for it and add that whipped topping!
