Ingredients

For the dutch baby pancake:

  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp tapioca starch (also known as tapioca flour)
  • 3 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp non-dairy milk such as coconut, almond, etc.. ( I used lite coconut milk)
  • 6 eggs
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp butter

For the apple sauce:

  • 3-4 apples, chopped
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Splash of water

Instructions

For the pancake:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
  • In a 10-12 inch skillet (I prefer a cast iron skillet but stainless steel is fine), add the two tablespoons of butter and place in the oven while you mix the pancake batter
  • In a medium sized bowl, mix together the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract and the salt. Once the oven is preheated and the skillet is hot, carefully remove it from the oven and pour the pancake batter into the hot skillet. Place back into the oven and bake for about twenty minutes

For the apple sauce:

  • While the pancake is baking in the oven, add the chopped apples, maple syrup, cinnamon and the splash of water to a sauce pan and cook over low heat. The apples will start to break down and cook. Gently mash with a fork or spatula
  • Once the apples are cooked to your liking (I like to keep this apple sauce pretty rustic. I like some chunks and I also like to keep the skins on the apples), whether you like the sauce a little more chunky or smooth, set aside until the pancake is baked
  • Once the pancake has puffed up and is golden brown around the edges, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the apple sauce, a sprinkle of cinnamon, a dusting of coconut sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup. Serve hot and enjoy!
