Ingredients

Apple cider syrup:

4 cups apple cider
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Dutch baby:

3 large eggs, room temperature
3/4 cup whole milk, room temperature
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 large Pink Lady apple, peeled, sliced 1/4" thick
1 tablespoon light brown sugar

Preparation

  1. Apple cider syrup:

    Step 1

    Bring cider, butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon to a boil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Reduce heat and boil gently, whisking occasionally, until thick and syrupy, 30-45 minutes.

    Step 2

    Do ahead: Syrup can be made 1 week ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before using.

  2. Dutch baby:

    Step 3

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl until smooth.

    Step 4

    Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a 10" skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium heat. Add apple and sprinkle with brown sugar and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.

    Step 5

    Cook, tossing often, until apple is coated and softened, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

    Step 6

    Wipe out skillet and heat in oven until very hot, 8-10 minutes. Carefully add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to skillet, tilting to coat bottom and sides. Add apple to center of skillet; pour batter over. Bake until pancake is puffed and golden brown around the edges and center is set but still custardy, 12-15 minutes.

    Step 7

    Serve drizzled with apple cider syrup.
