Dutch Baby Apple Pancake
Loading...SKILL LEVEL :
EasyBreakfast showstopper
Dutch baby pancakes are definitely showstoppers suitable for a special breakfast or just because. As spectacular as they look, they are very simple to make. They are closer to a soufflé than a pancake. Traditionally, they are cooked in a large cast iron skillet, but I like making them in my cazuela. This recipe was passed on to me years ago by my friend, Kathryn. I think it came from a 1970's or 1980's Sunset Magazine cookbook. My family requires I make this pancake for every Easter and Christmas breakfast.

Kim,
I think this is the apple dish that you make and is always so good. Mom
That’s it. I make this apple pancake every Christmas morning and frequently for Easter.
I made this for Christmas breakfast and my family insists that it become a tradition. It is very easy to make and requires very little clean up. This dish is a win, win.
I never thought about the cleanup aspect Sasha, but you are right. One bowl, one pan gets you a “wow” puffy pancake for breakfast.
So the Dutch Baby Apple Pancakes were such a hit with the Russell family! And I looked like a total professional making them! Easy and delicous !
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe Lockie. My kids wouldn’t believe it was Christmas without at least one Dutch baby pancake!
I do not wait to make a Dutch Baby pancake for the holidays, I make them at least once a month I like them better than pancakes and waffles
My family agrees with you Lil, there is no reason to wait for the holidays. The real reason I wait is I am not a big breakfast maker, but if I was there would certainly be more Dutch Baby pancakes! There is a reason my blog is called “Something New For Dinner” and not “Something New For Breakfast.”
Christmas morning, 8:50 a.m. and my house is adrift with the smell of Dutch baby pancakes…..thank you Kim easy, dramatic looking start to our day of food. Oh, got to go- they’re diving in!
Merry Christmas, The Lockharts
Wow Kate! Thank you for sharing before your meal was even served! Hope you had a wonderful holiday!
