Recipe View Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a 10-inch oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal) in the oven to preheat as well. (15 minutes)

Recipe View Carefully remove the pancake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before sliding it onto a serving platter. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.

For an extra touch, consider adding a splash of apple brandy or Calvados to the batter.
If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can use a regular skillet and transfer the apple mixture to a baking dish before adding the batter.
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of maple syrup for an even more decadent treat.

    I made this for brunch, and it was a huge hit! I love that you can prepare the batter the night before. It made the morning so much easier.

    I added a little lemon zest to the batter, and it gave it a lovely bright flavor. Will definitely make this again!
