Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather all your ingredients and equipment.
  2. Peel the Granny Smith apples and slice them thinly, about 1/4-inch thick.
  3. In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and caramelized.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix, then add milk and eggs, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with melted butter and evenly layer the cooled sautéed apples across the bottom.
  6. Gently pour the pancake batter over the apples, ensuring even coverage.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed up, golden brown, and set in the center.
  8. Cool for a minute, then flip onto a serving plate so the apples are on top. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Allow sautéed apples to cool before mixing into batter to prevent cooking the eggs prematurely. Avoid overmixing for a fluffy pancake texture.
