If you are wondering what is a Dutch Baby? It’s a large pancake that’s baked in a skillet in a hot oven. The sides of the pancake rise tall above the edges of the pan while the center remains tender and eggy.
Flour, milk, eggs, and a touch of sugar make up the batter. Then we lace it with ground cinnamon and cardamom. When baked, we spoon warm spiced apples on top. This apple Dutch baby recipe doubles as breakfast or dessert. A must make.

How to Make a Dutch Baby Pancake
When we first tried making a Dutch baby pancake, we were floored at how easy it was. Less than five minutes of whisking, pour into a skillet, and bake in a hot oven until puffed.
A Dutch baby is a cross between an eggy pancake and Yorkshire pudding or popovers. Pour batter into a hot skillet with melted butter then slide it into a 425 degree oven. This is when the magic happens. Since the oven is so hot, the batter puffs up high around the edges.
When it’s baked, the possibilities are endless when it comes to toppings. We add cinnamon and cardamom to the batter. Then, in the time it takes to bake, we cook apple slices in butter and more spices until tender.
Pile the apples in the middle of the Dutch baby. Then serve family-style with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dusting of powdered sugar.

It’s best served family-style piled high with butter cooked and spiced apples. The trio of cinnamon, cardamom, and apples is one of our favorites. If you do not have cardamom, substitute with a touch more cinnamon or add pinch of fresh grated nutmeg.
Makes 3 to 4 servingsYou Will NeedDutch Baby3 large eggs
1/2 cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
3 tablespoons butter
2 lemon wedges
Powdered sugar for topping
Apple Topping2 medium apples, cored and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
DirectionsMake Dutch BabyPosition an oven rack in the lower third of the oven with ample room above it for the pancake to rise above the skillet. Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
Whisk eggs, flour, milk, 1 teaspoon of sugar, cinnamon, and the cardamom until blended. You can also use a blender.
Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over medium heat. Swirl the melted butter around the pan. When it is bubbling, pour in the batter. Slide into the oven and bake until puffed and golden, about 20 minutes. Turn the oven temperature down to 300 degrees F and cook for an extra 5 minutes so that it sets completely.
Make Apple ToppingWhile the Dutch baby cooks, melt butter in a wide skillet over medium heat. Toss in the apples, sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom. Cook, tossing them around the pan, until desired softness. We cook 5 to 8 minutes until the apples are tender, but still have a crunch.
To FinishPile the apples in the middle of the Dutch baby. Then serve family-style with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a dusting of powdered sugar.
