Ingredients:

8g
1/2 cup milk (2% fat)
120g
4 eggs
220g
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2.10g
1/4 tsp salt
1.50g
1 apple
220g
1/2 cup whole-grain wheat flour
60g
0.40 cup sugar
80g
1/2 stick butter
54g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Batter:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until they are well beaten.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract to the eggs and whisk again until well combined.
- Gradually add the whole-grain wheat flour and salt to the wet mixture, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Once the batter is smooth, set it aside.
3. Prepare the Apple:
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apple.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced apple to the skillet and sauté for 3-5 minutes until they start to soften.
- Sprinkle the 0.40 cup (80g) of sugar over the apples and continue to cook for 2 more minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and begins to caramelize slightly.
4. Combine and Cook:
- Pour the prepared batter over the sautéed apples in the skillet.
- Immediately transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
5. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
6. Serving:
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Dust the top of the pancake with the powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Tips:

- Ensure your apple is evenly sliced for uniform cooking.

- Use room temperature eggs to help the batter mix more smoothly.

- Preheat your oven well in advance to ensure the pancake rises properly.

- If you prefer, substitute whole-grain wheat flour with all-purpose flour for a lighter texture.

- Top with your favorite syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

- Consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for an added layer of spice.

- Use a cast-iron skillet for even heating and a beautiful presentation.
