Are you always looking for something new to feed more than a couple of people whether it is your own company or a group getting together? I have a friend, Lori, who writes a daily blog, “More with Less Today,” and she has given permission for me to pass along this recipe. I know you will have fun making it and then devouring it! This is good for a breakfast, brunch or dessert.
Family Style German Apple Pancake
Ingredients:
Batter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (gluten-free is good, too)
- 1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tbsp. raw sugar
- Dash of salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp. melted butter
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Apples
- Cooking spray
- 1/2 cup raw sugar, divided
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
- 4-6 apples, thinly sliced
Method:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bow.
- Whisk the eggs together well in a small bowl.
- Add milk and butter to the whisked eggs and combine well.
- Stir egg mixture into flour mixture and let stand for 30 minutes.
- While the batter is resting, coat the bottom of a large ovenproof skillet with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Combine ¼ of sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle over the bottom and sides of the skillet.
- Lay apple slices evenly in the bottom of the skillet. Start in the middle and arrange in a spiral. It will look like a big flower.
- Sprinkle remaining sugar over the top of the apple slices.
- Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes – do not stir.
- Slowly pour the batter over cooked apples.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes before reducing the heat to 375 degrees. Bake an additional 13-15 minutes or until golden on top.
- Remove from the oven and loosen the edges with a spatula. The whole pancake will easily slide out onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve. This is great with syrup or sprinkled with powdered sugar on top.
