Gluten-free Apple Puff Pancakes

Step 1

Place 4 Tbsp. butter in each glass pie pan. Place in oven and turn oven on to 400°. Butter will melt, sizzle and just start to brown while oven warms up and you prepare apples.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice apples into thin slices.

Step 3

When butter is melted, remove pans from oven. Place apple slices in a single layer in each pie pan. (You might have some apple slices left over to munch on.)

Step 4

Sprinkle apple slices with brown sugar and cinnamon.

Step 5

Place pie pans back in oven and allow apples to cook for 7-8 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, in a blender, blend milk, eggs, flour, xanthan gum, sugar, vanilla extract and sugar until well blended. Use batter setting if your blender has one.

Step 7

If you don’t want/can’t use your blender for this recipe, you can mix it all with a whisk instead, making sure you whisk until all the flour is dissolved.

Step 8

You should have 4 cups of batter when you are done mixing together.

Step 9

Remove pie pans from oven after apples have cooked 7-8 minutes. Pour batter evenly over the apples in each pan (2 cups batter per pan).

Step 10

Bake at 400° for 22-25 minutes. Remove from oven. Pancakes will collapse after removing from oven.

Step 11

Serve hot, with powdered sugar sprinkled over the top or maple syrup drizzled over.
