German Apple Pancake

This was really good and really easy. Definitely a winter favorite.

German Apple Pancake

From the Crumbly Cookie blog

Serves 2

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (I used regular butter)
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon (I added more)
2 apples, peeled, cored and sliced (see note)
2 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk (I used skim milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon salt, plus a pinch
½ cup (2½ ounces) flour
powdered sugar

1. Heat oven to 400C.

2. Melt butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt; stir. Once the dry ingredients are incorporated in the butter, add the apples and spread them into a single later. Cook without stirring until the apples begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are completely soft and maybe even a little caramelized.

3. Meanwhile, place all remaining ingredients except flour in blender and process until mixed, about 15 seconds, wiping down sides if necessary. Add flour and continue processing until it’s incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

4. Pour the batter evenly over the apples. Place the skillet in the oven and bake until pancake is firm and puffed, about 10 minutes. Invert onto plate, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
