Ingredients Needed To Make An Apple & Pear Puff Pancake
- Crunch Pak® apple & pear slices – already prepared fresh apple & pear slices help speed up this recipe!
- Butter – salted or unsalted butter will work.
- Eggs – eggs help to combine the batter so it forms the batter and becomes puffy.
- Milk – you can use any milk that you have on hand!
- All-purpose flour – it will help thicken the batter.
- Sugar – adds an extra layer of sweetness.
- Nutmeg & cinnamon – these spices help to add additional flavor.
- Maple syrup – to serve!
How to Make a Pear & Apple Puff Pancake
Preheat the oven to 425°. Place butter in a 10-in. cast iron skillet. Heat in the oven until the butter is melted, approximately 2 minutes. Tilt the pan to coat evenly with butter.
Place eggs, milk, flour, sugar and nutmeg into a blender. Cover and process until smooth. Pour into the hot cast iron skillet. Bake until puffed and starting to brown (approximately 15-17 minutes).
For the topping, heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Crunch Pak® apple and pear slices, sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Cook until the fruit is tender, stirring occasionally (approximately 13-15 minutes).
Remove the pancake from oven; fill with fruit mixture and serve immediately. Serve with maple syrup and whip cream, if desired.
Enjoy!
