Apple Pancake

This was a quiet weekend for us since I was recovering from a cold.  I wanted to do something different for breakfast on Sunday morning.  I remembered Shelley posting an Apple Pancake recipe on her blog, The Experience of Eating and decided to give it a try.  I'm happy with how it turned out.


APPLE PANCAKE
(by Love & Lemons via The Experience of Eating)
Makes: ~4 servings
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Bake Time: 20 minutes

Apple Pancake 

Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. butter
3 Apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin (I used Jonagold apples)
1/4 C brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3 large eggs
1/2 C milk
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. baking powder
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
2. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
3. Whisk together eggs and milk. Then mix together flour and baking powder and stir it into the egg/milk mixture.
4. In a frying pan, melt the butter and add the apple slices and 1 Tbsp. of the cinnamon and brown sugar mixture.  Cook, stirring until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Transfer apple mixture to a casserole dish.  Pour the batter over the apples and sprinkle the remaining brown sugar mixture evenly on top.  *Shelley used a cast iron skillet instead of a frying pan and casserole dish. This will decrease the amount clean up required.
6. Bake until it puffs, around 18-20 minutes.
7. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
8. Enjoy!
