Easy Apple Dutch Baby Pancake

Warm up those iron skillets! Easy Apple Dutch Baby Pancake with only a blender, a can of apple pie filling and an iron skillet. A delicious breakfast for brunch or when you’re serving a crowd.

I love quick and easy breakfasts and ones that I can make easily for a crowd. This Apple Dutch Baby Pancake is just that and it’s so delicious you’ll probably find yourself making it even when you have all the time in the world.

I first made a Dutch pancake for my daughter, who is gluten-free, and then decided to try my hand at making it the standard way but with a twist for fall. And what’s better for fall than apples! This can be made with fresh apples, cinnamon and sugar but using a low sugar apple pie filling was a quick and easy way to get this pancake put together.

I also had an ulterior motive. I wanted to use my new iron skillet and put it to the test. I have to say that I am really enjoying using my new skillet and don’t know why I never thought of buying one prior to this month. Duh, it really is the best thing going. So far I’ve made my Bacon Mac & Cheese Skillet, remade my Sausage & Tortellini Skillet and two new recipes coming soon, One Skillet Shepherd’s Pie & Garlic Skillet rosemary Bread. I know, who knew, you can make bread in an iron skillet and it comes out fabulous!

By the way, this dish is also delicious reheated in case you want to grab a piece on the way to work. Of course, reheating it at work might make your co-workers drool a bit, but that’s the price you have to pay for something this good. Hope you enjoy!
