Our take on the soufflé-like Dutch pancake features caramelized apples that cook right in the pan. You can use your favorite baking apple, but we like the sweet-tartness of Pink Lady apples, and they also hold their shape well. This recipe also utilizes plenty of ground spices, like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg, that make it a super-savory treat. Top it off with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice when serving. You can also serve with fresh sliced strawberries alongside, if desired.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Remove skillet from oven; add apples and toss to coat. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. Return to oven and bake until apples are softened and bubbling, 10 minutes.
