Servings: persons

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
½ cup whole milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons cold butter
powdered sugar, for serving
whipped cream, for serving

1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2
Add the cinnamon, nutmeg and apples to a pan.
3
Saute the apples over medium-low heat until slightly soft, 3 to 5 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, prepare the batter.
5
Mix the milk, vanilla and eggs in a bowl.
6
Add the flour, granulated sugar and salt and whisk lightly (some lumps are ok but not too many).
7
Increase the heat under the apples to medium and add the brown sugar and butter.
8
Cook until a syrup forms, about 3 minutes, then add the batter all at once to the center of the pan.
9
Swirl the apple syrup mix through the batter, using a heatproof spatula, to form ribbons (you do not want to fully combine the apple-sugar syrup into the batter).
10
Cook until small bubbles form around the edge.
11
Finish cooking the pannekoeken in the oven, 12 minutes.
12
To serve, invert a 12-inch plate over the pan and flip the pan to turn out the pannekoeken.
13
Sprinkle with powdered sugar, top with whipped cream and enjoy!
