Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Step 2
Heat applesauce in a small saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Pour applesauce into blender. Add the eggs. Blend until combined; about 5 seconds. Add vanilla, sugar, salt and flour. Blend until evenly mixed. Add two tablespoons of melted butter. Blend another 30 seconds.
Step 3
Heat oven-proof skillet on medium heat. Pour a tablespoon of melted butter into skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom and sides of the pan. Immediately pour the batter into the skillet; place in middle rack of oven.
Step 4
Bake until golden brown around the edges and the pancake is puffed, about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Brush the last tablespoon of melted butter evenly over pancake. Sift powdered sugar over top, if desired.
Step 6
Mix together 2 tablespoons flour, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over the Dutch Baby. Serve immediately.
