PP Apple Dutch Baby

Chef: Jessica Meyers-Altman, GardenFreshFoodie.com

Makes: 8 servings

Prep Time: 15 min

Cook Time: 35 min

Total Time: 50 min

INGREDIENTS

• 2 lg apples, peeled, cored and sliced thin, about 4 c

• 2 ½ t cinnamon, divided

• ¼ c maple syrup, divided (or 1 ¼ T maple syrup for apples and 2 ½ T date paste to batter)

• 1 ½ T fresh lemon or orange juice

• 1 t vanilla

• 1 c oat flour, plus 1 T

• ½ T lemon or orange zest (depending on which juice you’re using)

• 1 c almond milk

• 1 t baking powder

• ¼ t salt

• 1 12 oz pack of silken firm tofu, drained

DIRECTIONS

1. Toss apples with citrus juice (lemon or orange) and 1 t cinnamon

2. Add apples to the pan and add 1 ½ T maple syrup. Sauté until softened, but not mushy, about 5-7 min.

3. Mix dry ingredients together and blend along with remaining ingredients in a blender, like a Vitamix. Could use date paste to replace maple syrup*.

4. Taste the batter (yup-when it’s vegan-you can do this!) and see if it has enough sweetness for you. If it doesn’t, add a little more maple syrup or date paste (don’t go crazy, as the apples will add sweetness, too).

5. Spray a pie pan with cooking spray (remove excess with paper towel/Esselstyn), and place cooked apples onto the bottom. Pour batter onto apples.

6. Bake at 425 degrees for 30 min, or until knife inserted comes out clean.

7. Sprinkle with additional cinnamon, and serve with maple syrup, additional cinnamon, apple sauce, or extra sautéed apples.
