Serves 4-6

From Amy’s Table: Food for Family and Friends

Whether you call this a Dutch Baby or a German Pancake, I hope you'll say "Dat is goed"  or "Das ist gut". Try it for breakfast- or  for dessert with a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.

Prep time: 20 minutes
Bake time: 25 minutes
Make ahead: No

Tip: You can add thinly sliced apple to the batter, too. 

Pancake:

3 large eggs

¾ cup milk

¾ cup flour

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

1-1/2 tablespoons butter

Filling:

¼ cup butter

5-6 baking apples, peeled, cored and sliced

¼ cup sugar

1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Pinch of salt

Garnish:

Confectioners’ sugar

Preheat oven to 450°F.

In a medium bowl beat the eggs, milk, flour, salt and cinnamon until smooth. In a heavy, ovenproof 12-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat.  When pan is hot, pour in the batter. Immediately place the skillet in the oven.  Bake 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350°F and bake until the pancake is golden brown and puffy, about 10 minutes.

While the pancake is baking, melt butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.  Cook until just tender, about 8-10 minutes.

To Serve: Slide the pancake onto a platter; top with the apple filling.  Dust with confectioners’ sugar.  Slice into wedges and serve immediately.
