Warm spiced apples, a dramatic puffed edge, and a glossy drizzle of maple syrup ā this oven pancake is the kind of weekend breakfast that makes everyone wander into the kitchen asking what smells so good. The batter comes together in minutes with pantry staples like eggs, milk, flour, and vanilla powder, then gets poured right over a skillet of ginger-and-cardamom-kissed apples that have already been caramelizing on the stovetop. That two-stage cooking method ā stovetop first, then straight into a screaming-hot oven ā is what gives the pancake its gorgeous rise and deeply golden edges. Because every ingredient here is straightforward and whole, there's no need to scrutinize labels for hidden tree nut derivatives or worry about cross-contact from specialty products. Fresh ginger adds a bright, slightly spicy note that plays beautifully against the sweetness of pure maple syrup, and the cardamom rounds everything out with a floral warmth. Serve it in wedges straight from the skillet with a dusting of powdered sugar, and it's impressive enough to feel like a special occasion even on an ordinary Sunday morning.

Place a 12-inch oven-safe skillet on the center rack and preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
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 ā it will be thin and pourable, similar in consistency to heavy cream.
