Dutch Apple Baby

01Method

1. 1

   Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) to preheat.

2. 2

   Warm the applesauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Transfer to a blender, add the eggs, and blend for about 5 seconds. Add the vanilla, sugar, salt, and flour, blend until smooth. Pour in two tablespoons of the melted butter and blend for another 30 seconds.

3. 3

   Place an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Coat the bottom and sides with a tablespoon of melted butter, then immediately pour in the batter and transfer the skillet to the middle rack of the oven.

4. 4

   Bake until the edges are golden and the pancake has puffed up, approximately 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Brush the remaining tablespoon of melted butter over the surface of the pancake, then dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.

6. 6

   Combine the flour, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl, then cut in the butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Scatter evenly over the Dutch Baby and serve right away.
