Peanut Free Maple-Ginger Apple Oven Pancake

Warm spiced apples, a dramatic puffed edge, and a golden center that practically begs to be cut into wedges — 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 with eggs, whole milk, flour, and a touch of vanilla powder, while fresh ginger and cardamom give the apple filling a warmth that feels genuinely special without any complicated technique. Everything happens in a single skillet, which means less cleanup and more time enjoying the results. For anyone navigating peanut concerns, this recipe is naturally free of nuts in any form — no swaps needed, no label-scanning required, just straightforward pantry staples doing their best work. The maple syrup does double duty, sweetening both the batter and the caramelized apple layer, so every bite has that deep, slightly smoky sweetness running through it. Serve it straight from the skillet with a dusting of powdered sugar and an extra drizzle of maple, and it looks far more impressive than the effort involved.

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.
