Since it is apple season, we thought it would be the perfect time to make Apple German Pancakes! This was the winning recipe in the first national recipe contest sponsored by Eggland's Best, submitted by Jennifer W. of Boise, Idaho.
Apple German Pancakes
- 3 peeled and sliced tart apples (I like Honey Crisp or Pink Lady, Granny Smith works well too)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 Eggland's Best eggs
Preheat oven to 425℉. Slice apples and sauté in an oven-proof skillet. When apples are soft, sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix dry ingredients together and form a well. Add milk and vanilla; stir well. Add each egg one at a time, beating well.
Pour over apples and cook on the stove-top on medium heat until just barely set around the edges. You do not want it to set much or it will not puff up in the oven. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. The pancake should be golden brown and puffy.
Remove from oven. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with a wedge of lemon.
