Speaking of Apples...




How about a nice apple breakfast (or anytime) treat for the family this weekend? Baked Apple Pancake is scrumptious and it yields 2 to 4 servings ... depending on one's appetite!

Baked Apple Pancake
Yield: 2 to 4 Servings

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup milk
4 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
½ stick unsalted butter

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Spray a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with vegetable oil.
Toss apples with both sugars and cinnamon in a large bowl; set aside.
Mix milk and eggs in a blender or food processor;
add flour and salt and mix to combine.

*Melt butter in prepared skillet over medium heat.
Add apple mixture; cook, stirring often, until sugar melts, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and pour batter over. Bake until pancake is puffed
and golden, 20 to 30 minutes. Serve at once. ENJOY!

Variations:
Maple syrup can be poured over pancake; however, it really isn't necessary
with the apples, sugars, and spice.

*Lightly spray a pretty baking dish with vegetable oil; place cooked apples in dish;
pour batter over and bake as directed above.
