Ingredients

For the apples

  • 3 medium apples, peeled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

For the batter

  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a skillet and cook the apple slices with sugar and cinnamon for 5–7 minutes until slightly softened.
  2. Whisk eggs and sugar until smooth. Add milk, cream, and vanilla.
  3. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until you have a smooth batter.
  4. Arrange the cooked apples in a greased, oven-safe baking dish or skillet.
  5. Pour the batter evenly over the apples.
  6. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–50 minutes, until golden and set in the center.
  7. Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Tip: Serve warm for a soft, custardy center and tender caramelized apples. Check the center with a toothpick; it should come out without wet batter.
