When I woke up I thought about all those delicious apples I picked yesterday at Macqueens Orchard. I wanted to start my day with something made with apples. I immediately thought of an Apple Dutch Baby Pancake. They are super easy to make and they’re delicious. They’re also very cool to watch as they bake in the oven. I was missing a couple ingredients so I headed to my local Kroger to grab some milk and eggs. Kroger’s is having a great sale on both so if you’re a baker definitely get by there this week.
So I get back home and mix everything up. Put it in the oven. Slice my apples up and added some extra deliciousness to them and sauté them. 20 minutes later my Dutch Baby Pancake comes out looking absolutely beautiful. I very quickly top it with those delicious apples and dust with powdered sugar.

Now it’s time to enjoy and that I did! 😋
