Dutch Apple Pancake

INGREDIENTS:

4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 Golden Delicious apple, cored and
cut into 1/2-inch slices
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 Tbs. granulated sugar
2 eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Confectioners' sugar for dusting

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees farenheit. Butter a 10-inch ovenproof braiser or fry pan.

In another frying pan over medium heat, melt 2 Tbs. of the butter. Add the apple, cinnamon
and granulated sugar and saute, stirring occasionally, until the apple begins to soften and brown,
5 to 6 minutes. Set aside.

In a bowl, using a whisk, beat the eggs. Add the milk and whisk until blended. Sift the flour and
salt into the egg mixture and whisk until just blended. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat,
melt the remaining 2 Tbs. butter. Add the butter to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and arrange the apple slices evenly on top. Bake until the
pancake is browned and puffed up, 25 to 30 minutes. Dust with confectioner's sugar and serve
immediately. Serves 2 to 4 people.
