Growing up, every Thursday we would have pancakes for dinner... to this day, my mom still makes pancakes once a week even though it's just her and my dad. 3 out of 4 weeks of the month it was Swedish pancakes (recipe coming someday)... once a year it was maybe American style pancakes... but usually if it wasn't Swedish pancakes, it was what most people here call a dutch pancake. Something baked in the oven.
My mom actually was the one to point out this recipe to me, she had made it earlier. I was pretty surprised by how easy it was to throw together, but pancakes aren't exactly complicated. One pot cooking never seems to really involve just one pot... at least for me, but this was great. All you need is a large cast iron skillet.

3 tbsp butter
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 sweet apple, peeled and sliced (I used 3 small ones on my mom's advice)
3 large eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup each flour and milk
1 tsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Melt butter in a 12-inch (my mom used a 10-inch) ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar and cinnamon, swirling to combine. Add apples and cook just until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a blender, whirl together eggs, salt, flour, and milk. Poor egg mixture into pan and bake until puffed and brown, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with lemon juice and dust with powdered sugar to serve.
Serves 6
