Walnut Free Maple-Ginger Apple Oven Pancake

Warm spiced apples, a dramatic puffed edge, and a glossy drizzle of maple syrup — this oven pancake is the kind of weekend breakfast that makes everyone wander into the kitchen to see what smells so good. The batter comes together in minutes with pantry staples like eggs, milk, and flour, then gets poured right over a skillet of ginger-and-cardamom-kissed apples for a result that's somewhere between a Dutch baby and a caramelized apple tart. Fresh ginger gives the filling a bright, slightly spicy kick that plays beautifully against the sweetness of the maple syrup, and the cardamom adds just enough warmth to make it feel special. The whole thing bakes in a single cast-iron or oven-safe skillet, which means fewer dishes and a gorgeous presentation you can bring straight to the table. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free of tree nut concerns — no swaps needed, no label-checking required. Serve it in wedges dusted with powdered sugar while it's still puffed and steaming, because it won't wait long and neither will the people around your table.

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.
