Gluten Free Cinnamon-Cardamom Apple Oven Pancake

Warm cinnamon-cardamom spice mingles with tender, caramelized apple slices in this dramatic skillet bake, puffed high at the edges and golden across the top straight from the oven. The apples soften into a light, glossy glaze right in the pan, so every wedge gets that soft, jammy pocket of fruit against a custardy, eggy center. It bakes up tall and impressive with almost no hands-on effort, then deflates into the kind of rustic, craggy top that begs for a dusting of powdered sugar and a spoonful of ricotta. Cut into wedges and served straight from the skillet, it's a showstopper for a weekend brunch table. This one is a great fit for a gluten free spread, letting the warm spice and fruit take center stage without any fuss.

Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
1 tbsp granulated sugar
¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cardamom
¼ tsp salt

For the apple filling

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
2 tbsp granulated sugar
½ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
¼ tsp ground cardamom

For serving

1 tbsp powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
2 tbsp fresh ricotta, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C). Place a 12-inch oven-safe skillet in the oven while it preheats.
2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, 1 tbsp granulated sugar, 1/4 tsp Ceylon cinnamon, 1/4 tsp cardamom, and salt until the batter is smooth and no lumps remain. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes while you prepare the apples.
