Apple Blackberry Dutch Babies

Try our spin on Dutch Baby pancakes with fresh blackberries. This dish is actually of German origin. Sometimes referred to as a Bismark, these pancakes were first served in the States in the early 1900s at Manca’s, a diner in Seattle. The owner’s daughter coined the name “Dutch Baby,” presumably the result of an Americanization of Deutsch into Dutch. Delicious!

  1. Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F.  In a medium bowl, mix blackberry jam and apple cider. Place bacon on a foil lined baking sheet. Brush jam mixture on each side and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake for 20 minutes.
  2. Dice apples. Melt butter in a large oven safe skillet such as cast iron over medium-high heat. Add apples and cook for 2 minutes. Add 3 tablespoons sugar, cinnamon, and ginger. Cook for another 2 minutes; stirring occasionally.
