Ingredients

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.

    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.

    I was a big fan of Gale Gand when she hosted the "Sweet Dreams" show on FN. I have used this recipe for several years and it's always delicious. Great wow factor with all the puffiness in the pan. My only recommendation is to not squirt with lemon until you've plated it because as soon as the acid hit my pancake, it quickly deflated it but it's absolutely delicious and a nice change for breakfast!
