Almond Free Maple-Ginger Apple Oven Pancake

Few breakfast dishes manage to feel both dramatic and deeply comforting at the same time, but this oven pancake pulls it off beautifully. Caramelized apple slices get tossed with fresh ginger, warm cardamom, and a hit of maple syrup right in the skillet before the batter goes in, so every bite is layered with sweet, spiced flavor. The batter itself is simple — eggs, milk, flour, vanilla powder, and a touch of maple — and it puffs up gloriously in the hot oven, forming crispy, golden edges that give way to a custardy, tender center. Because every ingredient here is straightforward and whole, there's no need to scan labels for hidden nut-based additives or worry about cross-contact from almond flour or almond extract sneaking in. The whole thing bakes in a single skillet, which means less cleanup and a genuinely impressive presentation when you bring it straight to the table. A drizzle of maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar finish it off, making it feel like something you'd order at a weekend brunch spot — except you made it at home.

Ingredients

4 servings

For the batter

3 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp pure vanilla powder

For the apple filling

2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced ¼-inch thick
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
¼ tsp ground cardamom

For serving

2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1
Place a 12-inch oven-safe skillet on the center rack and preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2
Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add the milk, flour, 2 tbsp maple syrup, salt, and vanilla powder, and whisk until the batter is smooth with no dry streaks — it will be thin and pourable, similar in consistency to heavy cream.
