During a summer trip to Santa Fe, Joan Coulliette of Sandy, Utah, had a wonderful baked apple pancake for breakfast at Atalaya restaurant.

The restaurant has closed, but we were able to get the recipe for the pancakes.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 Servings

Ingredients

1 Granny Smith apple, seeded, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
4 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss apple slices with lemon juice in medium bowl.

    Step 2

    Whisk eggs and milk in large bowl to blend. Add flour, 1 tablespoon sugar and salt; whisk until batter is almost smooth (small lumps of flour will remain).

    Step 3

    Mix brown sugar, cinnamon and remaining 1/4 cup sugar in small bowl.

    Step 4

    Melt 1 tablespoon butter in each of two 6-inch ovenproof nonstick skillets over medium heat. Pour half of batter into each skillet. Arrange half of apple slices evenly over batter in each skillet.

    Step 5

    Transfer skillets to oven and bake until pancakes are set around edges but still wet in center, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle half of brown sugar mixture over each pancake. Dot each with 1 tablespoon butter. Using spatula, carefully turn pancakes over. Return to oven. Bake until pancakes rise, sugar mixture melts to sauce consistency and top of pancakes is golden, about 6 minutes. Invert onto plates. Serve warm.
