For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular melted butter. Feel free to experiment with different spices in the topping, such as nutmeg or cardamom. If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, you can use a cake pan instead. Just make sure it's well-greased. For an extra touch of decadence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a small saucepan, gently warm the applesauce over medium heat until it's heated through. Be careful not to let it boil. (3 minutes)
03
StepPour the warmed applesauce into a blender. Add the eggs, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and flour. Blend until the batter is smooth and well combined. (2 minutes)
04
StepAdd 2 tablespoons of the melted butter to the batter and blend again for about 30 seconds, ensuring everything is fully incorporated. (1 minute)
05
StepPlace an oven-proof skillet (cast iron works best) over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the melted butter and swirl it around to generously coat the bottom and sides of the pan. (2 minutes)
06
StepImmediately pour the batter into the hot skillet and place it on the middle rack of the preheated oven. (1 minute)
07
StepBake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the edges are puffed up and golden brown. (20 minutes)
08
StepWhile the Dutch Baby is baking, prepare the crumble topping. In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon. (2 minutes)
09
StepCut in the cold butter pieces using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. (3 minutes)
10
StepRemove the Dutch Baby from the oven and brush the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter evenly over the top. (1 minute)
11
StepSift confectioners' sugar over the surface of the pancake for a touch of sweetness. Sprinkle the prepared crumble topping evenly over the Dutch Baby. (2 minutes)
12
StepServe immediately, as the Dutch Baby will begin to deflate shortly after being removed from the oven. Enjoy the delightful contrast of textures and flavors while it's warm and at its peak!
