Oven-Puffed Pancake with apple

    From Cooking Light March 2001

  • I used to make a version of this called Vermont Apple Pancake that I got from a Family Circle magazine in the '80s. It was a big favorite when served with apples sautéed in butter and cinnamon.

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup fat-free milk
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon butter

How to Make It

Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°.
Step 2
Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour and next 5 ingredients (flour through egg white); stir until moist.
Step 3
Melt butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Pour batter into pan; cook 1 minute (do not stir). Bake at 425° for 18 minutes or until golden. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Cut in half; serve immediately.

I really like this for breakfast.  It has little sugar, and a good amount of protein to start the day right.

6 slices day old whole wheat bread
½ cup raisins
1 large apple, peeled and chopped
2 T. melted butter
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups low-fat milk
½ cup white sugar
1 ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract


  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Break bread into small pieces in 8"-square or 1.5 quart baking dish. Mix in raisins and apple. Drizzle with melted butter.
  3. Combine eggs, 1 cup of milk, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Beat until well mixed. Pour over bread and push down with fork so bread is covered and soaking up egg mix.
  4. Scald 1 cup milk and pour over bread/eggs in baking dish, stirring lightly to mix.  
  5. Bake in preheated oven until a knife inserted into middle of pudding comes out mostly clean, about 45 minutes.
