Baked Apple Pancake
This thick, custardy baked apple pancake is a comforting vegan twist on a childhood classic. Sliced apples are softened in plant butter with brown sugar and cinnamon before being enveloped in a light batter and baked until golden. Perfect for a cozy weekend brunch, this dish is best served warm directly from the skillet with a sweet sugar dusting.
