Dutch Apple Pancake recipes like this one are a showstopper! Easy to throw together and quick, too–it’s a family-pleaser yet attractive enough for company.
Around the little Indiana household, we really only eat hot breakfasts. This Dutch Apple Pancake recipe, also known as Pannekoeken, was a hit with everyone.
Kid #2 was impressed by the puff and Kid #1 was excited to eat a breakfast food that looked like his favorite dessert: apple pie. From the Dulce Dough blog.

I highly recommend throwing a dusting of Powdered Sugar over the top. It looks extra great!
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 3 Eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 Cup Milk
- 1/2 Cup Flour
- Powdered Sugar (Optional, though a dusting over the top looks great!)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar, Packed
- 2 Medium Cooking Apples, Peeled, Cored, and Thinly Sliced
- 1/4 Cup Butter
Instructions
- 425* oven.
- Put 2 Tablespoons Butter into pie plate and set on middle oven rack.
- Meanwhile, beat Eggs in large bowl. Add Milk, Salt, and Flour. Mix well until batter is smooth.
- When Butter is melted, tilt it around pan and pour in Egg mixture.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes WITHOUT opening oven door. It will rise and puff as it bakes. Edges will look browned and crisp.
- Combine Brown Sugar, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg in bowl.
- Add in Apples and mix to cover.
- Melt Butter in saucepan over low heat.
- Add in Apple Mixture and cook over medium heat until apples are tender.
- Spoon over the hot and cooked pancake.
- Sprinkle with Powdered Sugar, if desired. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
