Apple Recipes

Baked Apple Pancake

1/2 (1/4 cup) stick unsalted butter
1 1/4 pounds firm, tart apples (about 3 medium) such as Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4 inch-thick slices
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
1/2 cup whole or low fat milk
1/2 cup unbleached all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Confectioner's sugar

1. Preheat oven to 425F. Melt butter over medium-high heat in an ovenproof 10 inch skillet. Add apples, granulated sugar, and cinnamon and cook, stirring occasionally until the apples begin to brown and most of the juices have evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.

2. Combine eggs, milk, flour, and salt in a food processor and process until smooth. (This can also be down with an electric mixer or by hand with a whisk.)

3. Spread the browned apples evenly across the bottom of the pan. Pour the batter over the apples. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the pancake is golden and puffed, 18-20 minutes.

4. Remove the pan from the oven and let the pancake rest for five minutes. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar, cut into wedges and serve immediately.

Serves 4-6

***Note we cook it in a regular skillet and then put in either a glass/metal pan or corningware to cook in the oven. We like it so much we make a double batch if we're making for more than just the two of us. We got this recipe from the Internet and love it!
