1/4 cup butter, salted

1 large Granny Smith Apple, peeled, cored, and thinnly sliced.
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 eggs, large and room temperature
1/2 cup flour, all purpose

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • On a medium high heat, melt butter on the stove top in a 9 or 10" cast iron skillet.

CARAMEL-APPLE DUTCH BABY



Caramel-Apple Dutch Baby image

This recipe makes the perfect breakfast, brunch or sweet treat for a lazy weekend. Any 10-inch ovenproof pan or baking dish will work here, but for the puffiest and crispest pancake, use a cast-iron pan. Don't skimp on the amount of butter you melt in the pan in the first step; it prevents the pancake from sticking, and helps brown and crisp the Dutch baby while it bakes. The easy, no-fail caramel sauce infuses the apples with brown sugar and vanilla, while also serving as a syrup to drizzle over each slice. For maximum ooh and aahs, spoon the apples, caramel and all, into the center of the Dutch baby and serve it in the skillet. To keep the pancake crisp longer, serve the apples and caramel separately and allow guests to top their own.

CARAMEL APPLES



Caramel Apples image

An easy recipe for making homemade caramel apples, this can be doubled or tripled easily to make more. Once dipped, the apples can be rolled in chopped nuts, candy, or drizzled with chocolate for a little extra flair. Be sure to start with room temperature apples as cold apples will cause the caramel mixture to harden too quickly making it difficult to work with.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium apples (about 1 1/2 pounds total), such as Granny Smith, McIntosh or Honeycrisp, preferably organic (see note), washed and dried, at room temperature
4 (8-inch) sturdy treat sticks
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1/3 cup/80 milliliters light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup/180 milliliters heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or a piece of lightly greased parchment paper. Place the apples onto the prepared baking sheet, and press a treat stick firmly into the stem end, into the center of each apple.
  • In a medium pot, combine the sugar, corn syrup and 1/3 cup water. Stir the mixture with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon over medium heat until the mixture begins to bubble at the edges. Once it begins to bubble, stop stirring.
  • Cook the mixture (without stirring) until it begins to turn a medium amber color, 10 to 12 minutes. When the desired caramel color is reached, stir in the salt, cream, vanilla and butter - the mixture will bubble up vigorously - stir until it's combined and smooth.
  • Continue to cook the caramel over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reads 245 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, another 8 to 10 minutes. Leave the syrup mixture in the pot, and allow to cool to 200 degrees. (If the mixture cools too much, it can be reheated until fluid.)
  • Working quickly, dip 3/4 of an apple into the caramel, tilting the pot as needed to coat. Hold the apple over the caramel, letting the excess drip off, then transfer to the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining apples, reheating the caramel as necessary. Cool completely before serving.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for the best results. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet, but make sure it's oven-safe.
  • Make sure the butter is melted and sizzling before adding the apples. This will help the apples caramelize.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet with apples. If you do, they won't caramelize properly.
  • Cook the apples until they are tender and slightly browned. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Make sure the oven is preheated to 425 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the batter to the skillet. This will help the batter rise quickly.
  • Bake the Dutch baby for 12-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown and puffed up.
  • Serve the Dutch baby immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.

Conclusion:

This Caramel Apple Dutch Baby is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for a special occasion or a lazy weekend morning. The combination of sweet apples, creamy caramel, and fluffy Dutch baby batter is sure to please everyone at the table.
