They’re insanely easy to make, the ingredients are all blended and then poured into a pan and baked for about 15 minutes. In this Apple Dutch Baby recipe, we add in a delicious apple pie filling inspired topping! No special methods or pans are needed. It’s light, puffy and fluffy, a cross between a pancake and a crepe with a rich, eggy flavor.

What is an Apple Dutch Baby?

Also called a German pancake, Dutch babies are a like an American popover that is baked in a large skillet which makes them plate-sized and totally sharable! They’ll quickly become a family favorite food. Dutch babies puff up light and airy with a crispy, golden-brown rim and make an impressive-looking breakfast, brunch, or dessert offering! The ingredients are blended and poured into a pan, it couldn’t be easier to make. For an elegant brunch, serve apple Dutch babies topped with whipped cream and powdered sugar.

Ingredients and Variations

BATTER: Dutch baby batter is thin and light so it cooks up just right in the oven. Whole wheat flour can be used for half of the flour, but the finished product won’t rise as much. APPLE TOPPING: Homemade apple topping is super easy to make! Red Delicious apples are soft and sweet and Granny smith apples are firmer and tart, choose either or a combination of both! EXTRAS: Set out small bowls of toppings for guests to top their own Dutch Baby. A drizzle of Chocolate or Caramel Sauce, a spoonful of Fruit Sauce, honey, or Whipped Cream are all delicious ways to dress a Dutch baby! And don’t forget the Cinnamon Sugar.
