¾ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions:

• Do not open the oven while the baby is cooking 😊
• While the Dutch baby is cooking, slice your apples and place into a pot on the stove with the cinnamon, the melted remaining butter and 1 x tablespoon of water. Sauté for about 10 minutes until the apples have softened.
• From there add the dulce de Leche and mix well until all apples are coated well.
• Remove the Dutch baby from the oven and spoon the dulce de leche apple mix into the centre of the pancake.
• Drizzle with remaining dulce de leche and sprinkle with icing sugar and sliced almonds.
• Serve as is for breakfast or brunch or with ice cream for dessert.
