Apple dutch baby
A cross between a pancake and a sweet Yorkshire pudding. These mini Dutch babies are filled with caramelised apples and can be served as a healthy dessert or brunch dish. To guarantee a good rise, make sure the oil is smoking hot and whatever you do, don't open the oven door halfway through cooking!

Directions
Share
-
Beat the caster sugar and eggs together with an electric mixer until light and frothy. Gradually incorporate the plain flour, milk, vanilla extract and salt and beat until just combined and you have a smooth but thin batter. Pour into a jug and set aside for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 220C. Pour about half a tablespoon of sunflower oil into each compartment of two, four-hole Yorkshire pudding tins.
-
Place in the oven to heat up for 10 minutes or until the oil is smoking hot.
-
Pull the tray out of the oven and evenly pour in the batter – it should sizzle as it hits the pan. Bake for 15-18 minutes until crisp, golden and puffed up.
-
While the mini dutch babies cook, quarter and core the apples, then thinly slice into wedges.
-
Heat a knob of butter in a large saucepan and add the apples. Sprinkle with the nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger and add a splash of water with the maple syrup.
-
Cook the apples over a medium heat for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until slightly softened and caramelised.
-
Serve two Dutch babies per portion, filling the centres with the apples and their juices. Top with the toasted walnuts and a dollop of Greek yoghurt. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
