Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4-inch thick
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- Pinch salt
- 1/2 cup whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat milk
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 lemon wedges
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. In a large ovenproof skillet (preferably with curved sides), melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices and cook, stirring, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar and stir to combine.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, salt, milk, and flour. Pour this batter over the apples in the skillet, transfer to the oven, and bake until puffy, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the cinnamon and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Cut the remaining tablespoon of butter into pieces. When the pancake puffs, remove from the oven, dot with butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and return to the oven to bake until browned, about 10 minutes more. As the pancake comes out of the oven, squeeze the lemon wedges over the top. Serve in wedges right out of the pan.

This is my go to breakfast treat. I have been making it for years. Sometimes I add walnuts to the topping along with a little rolled oats. I like to add extra cinnamon in the apples too. I love this recipe, especially the taste of the lemon to add complexity to the sweet topping.

I watched Guy's DDD and saw someone making an apple pie German pancake. I was hoping this recipe would be similar, but it really wasn't. Easy to make, tasted just okay, but not something I'll likely make again.

I needed a pan size, in the directions, I think. I used 12 in curved sided...Checked the recipe, I did everything as it stated. At 450 degrees, my brand new oven burned it to a crisp in 10 minutes. What a waste.
