Hazelnut Free Maple-Ginger Apple Oven Pancake

Warm spiced apples, a dramatic puff straight from the oven, and a drizzle of maple syrup — this skillet pancake is the kind of weekend breakfast that makes everyone wander into the kitchen to see what smells so good. The batter comes together with just eggs, milk, flour, vanilla powder, and a touch of maple syrup, so it's refreshingly straightforward with zero complicated swaps needed. While the pancake bakes, the apple filling — softened in butter with fresh ginger, cardamom, and more maple syrup — caramelizes into something genuinely special underneath that golden, billowy crust. Because every ingredient here is naturally free of tree nuts, you don't have to scan labels or worry about hidden cross-contact the way you might with store-bought pancake mixes or flavored syrups. The fresh ginger gives it a little brightness that plays beautifully against the sweet cardamom and caramel notes from the maple. Serve it straight from the skillet in wedges, dusted with powdered sugar if you like, and get it to the table fast — the puff is part of the show.

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.
