Topped with thin apple wedges and a sweet cinnamon-sugar mixture, it offers a perfect balance of tender fruit and custardy bread. Ideal for weekend brunches or special morning occasions, this dish feels indulgent yet relies on pantry staples. Serve it straight from the oven, dusted with powdered sugar and accompanied by your favorite jam for a memorable dining experience.

Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
-
Peel and core 4 medium apples, then cut into thin wedges.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together milk, flour, eggs, 3 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon almond extract until smooth.
-
Heat a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and grease well with butter or oil.
-
Pour the batter into the hot skillet, tilting the pan so the batter coats the bottom and sides evenly.
-
Arrange the apple wedges in a single layer over the batter.
-
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon.
-
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the apples.
-
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed, golden brown, and the apples are tender.
-
Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with powdered sugar.
-
Serve warm, optionally with jams or preserves.
