To Make the Dutch Baby
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Add the eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, sugar and salt to a blender and blend on high until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2
Place the apples and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Toss to coat.
Step 3
Melt the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Once melted, pour the batter into the skillet. Place the apple slices on top of the batter, spreading out so they are not overlapping.
Step 4
Transfer the skillet carefully to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and puffy. Remove from the oven and drizzle with warm caramel sauce. Dust with confectioner's sugar if desired and top with the toasted pecans. Serve immediately.
To Make the Caramel Sauce
Step 1
In a medium saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Carefully pour in heavy cream, vanilla and salt. Remove from heat and stir to combine. Let cool slightly before pouring into a glass jar. Store remaining caramel in refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
