Description

Thinly sliced apples baked into a crepe-like pancake and topped with homemade syrup. Yum!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SYRUP:
  • 2 cups Apple Cider
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 whole Cinnamon Sticks
  • FOR THE "PANCAKE":
  • 1 whole Large Unpeeled Apple, Thinly Sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons Packed Brown Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • ⅔ cups Milk
  • ⅔ cups Bread Flour (can Sub All-purpose Or Whole Wheat)
  • 2 Tablespoons Applesauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Sugar
  • Optional Topping: Powdered Sugar

Preparation

For the syrup: Bring the apple cider, 1 cup brown sugar, and cinnamon sticks to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 30 minutes, until reduced by about 1/3. Then remove from heat, set aside and let cool.

Preheat the oven to 350F.

For the pancake: Combine the apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Arrange in the bottom of a buttered 9-inch pie plate.

Whisk the rest of the pancake ingredients (except the powdered sugar, for topping) until just combined and pour the mixture over the apples. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until top is browned and set. Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes.

Using a knife, loosen the edges of the pancake from the pie plate. When loose, invert pancake onto a serving platter and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Top with syrup!

NOTES: For super thin apples, use a mandoline slicer. It makes for awesome layers. I also had the best results using a glass pie plate instead of a cast-iron skillet. And finally – do not try to add melted butter to the batter. It falls apart. But DO add butter after it’s baked! Yum!

I’m so sorry, but I did not enjoy this recipe. It took a lot longer to cook than the recipe stated and I really think the apples need to be pre-cooked a bit. The pancake itself really lacked flavor and seemed a bit too thick.

This ended up being delicious! I reduced the amount of sugar in the syrup to about 3/4 cup brown sugar which we liked. My only problem was that the pancake took much longer to cook than I had expected — 30+ minutes (I used a pie plate). Finally, make sure to let it cool for the suggested 5-10 minutes since that helps the pancake set! Overall, a very good recipe.

This was excellent! I made it for brunch for my family and they loved it. Very easy and delicious. I used a cast iron skillet (well buttered) and melted butter (in place of applesauce) and it came out just fine. I was panicked though as I didn’t read those suggestions until AFTER I put it in the oven. It will definitely be a regular on our menu. Oh, I should add that I doubled the recipe and the baking time for my 9 inch iron skillet.
