Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 apples (I use 4 medium/large apples. Use 5 if your apples are on the smaller side.)
1/2 cup 1 stick - softened butter - divided
1/2 cup - brown sugar - packed
1 teaspoon - cinnamon
1 cup - all purpose flour
6 eggs
1 cup - milk
1/2 teaspoon - vanilla
3 tablespoon - sugar
Powdered Sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°. Grease/spray a 13x9 baking dish.
  • Core, peel and slice apples.
  • In a medium bowl combine apple slices, 1/4 cup butter (half the stick), brown sugar and cinnamon. In the microwave, heat on high for 3-5 minutes till apples are tender - stirring twice during cook time. Alternately you can do this stovetop in a skillet .
  • Mix apple mixture well and spoon evenly into baking dish.
  • In a medium/large bowl - combine remaining ingredients. Mix until well blended. Pour or spoon evenly over apple mixture.
  • Bake for 25 - 28 minutes. The middle should be set and the pancake should be puffed up and edges nicely browned.
  • Let sit for a few minutes before cutting. I think this pancake is perfect served as is - but you could sprinkle with a bit of powdered sugar. Enjoy : )

Yield: 8 (8 inch) pancakes (cooked in an 8 inch skillet). (Each full-pan pancake takes 6-8 minutes to cook.)

Categories     Breakfast

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 c unbleached all-purpose flour
1 c milk
1 c water
4 eggs, (separated)
Pinch salt
2 sweet and crisp apple ((Envy, Gala, or Honeycrisp) peeled, cored and sliced thinly)
2 Tbsp salted butter, (divided)
Cinnamon sugar* ((to serve))

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together flour, milk, water, and egg yolks.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt until stiff peaks form. Fold the beaten egg whites into the flour mixture.
  • Heat roughly ¼ Tbsp of butter in an 8" skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Arrange some of the apple slices in the hot skillet. Let the apple slices caramelize for 30-45 seconds.
  • Spoon enough batter into the skillet to fill the entire pan in a ¼ - ½ inch layer. (The batter will be stiff from the egg whites and will need to be spread evenly with a spatula to thin it for consistent cooking.)
  • When edges start to turn golden and the center is mostly dry, about 4-5 min, carefully flip the pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the second side. Then, slide the pancake onto a serving platter.
  • Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while you make the rest of the pancakes, adding a little butter to the skillet before each set of apples and batter. (As the pan gets hotter, you may need to reduce the heat slightly to keep the apples from burning.)
  • Sprinkle the pancakes with cinnamon sugar to serve.

Bake pancake in the 450 degree F oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until puffed and golden. 3. Meanwhile, for filling, in a medium skillet melt the 2 tablespoons margarine or butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar until combined. Stir in apple slices, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook, uncovered, for 3 to 5 minutes or until apples are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally. 4. To serve, remove pancake from oven. Spoon some of the filling into center of pancake. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into wedges. Pass the remaining filling. Pancake will collapse as it cools. Makes 6 servings.

Tips:

  • Use good quality apples. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Peel and core the apples before grating them. This will help to ensure that the pancakes are smooth and not lumpy.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Butter, syrup, and powdered sugar are all classic choices.

Conclusion:

Apple pancakes are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. They are perfect for using up leftover apples, and they can be customized with a variety of toppings. Whether you like them plain or topped with butter, syrup, or fruit, apple pancakes are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
