Easy Apple Cinnamon Dutch Baby
This holiday season I will definitely be turning to this recipe for my breakfast and brunch needs. The dutch baby is super simple to throw together. It all happens in a blender and an oven safe pan. The apple cinnamon combination is undeniably delicious!
I like to use a sweet apple like Honey Crisp, Fuji or Gala for this recipe. Make sure you, peel, core and thinly slice the apple. I like to use a MANDOLINE for this – just watch those fingers! Make sure you cook the apples on low heat to avoid burning them. Another popular recipe to make this season is my Greek Yogurt Apple Cake!
For the batter portion of this recipe, I recommend adding the ingredients to your blender in the order they appear below. Don’t over pulse the batter. Just run the blender until the batter is smooth. The batter will be runny in texture. Once it bakes, the pancake will puff up a lot and turn golden brown. After you remove it from the oven, it will deflates slightly.
My favorite way to serve this dutch baby is with some powdered sugar, cinnamon, Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey. You can also switch it up and top with some vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce! If you like this recipe you will love my Blueberry Dutch Baby Recipe – it is low carb and gluten free!

This looks delicious! Can you use a gluten free all-purpose flour for this recipe? Can’t use almond flour due to nut allergies.
Hi Valerie, that will work here too!
Could I use almond flour?
Hi Diane, yes but i would increase the amount of almond flour to 3/4 cup and use 4 eggs.. please see my recipe for Blueberry Dutch Baby, using almond flour:

can coconut flour be used?
I haven’t tried it with only coconut flour so i cannot say for sure if that would work.
Can this be doubled or tripled?
Hi Gina, do you want to make several pans or do you want to make a thicker pancake?
I would say yes to both.
If you are trying to make a thicker pancake, simply leave it in longer and lower the oven temp to 375f
This is delicious! My husband and I loved it! Highly recommend this recipe!
Hi Christine, I’m so glad you tried it and loved it! Thank you for the kind feedback!
