Tart green apples and sweet raisins pair beautifully in this breakfast. Kids will love the sight of the puffy pancake, richly flavoured with warm fruit flavoured with vanilla and cinnamon. Ideal for a special brunch or weekend breakfast, this dish is an easy blueprint for experimenting with different combinations of fruits, such as apples and pears or peaches and plums. The short 10 minutes of prep time mean the bulk of the cooking happens in the oven, leaving time for other things. This recipe is traditionally baked in a cast-iron skillet. If you don’t have one, make sure the handle of your skillet is ovenproof, or cover with heavy-duty foil before putting the pan in the oven.
