Recipe: German Apple Pancake

Beat 6 Farm Fresh Eggs (from your own Free Range Chickens, of course). Add 1 Cup Whole Milk (from a Local Dairy) and beat until well blended. Add 1 Cup Flour. Beat until well blended. Set aside.

Peel, core and slice 5 Large Apples. We used Golden Delicious Apples off our Tree, but any of your Favorites will do. In a 10 inch Cast Iron Skillet, melt 3 Tablespoons of Butter or or your Favorite Buttery Spread. Add Apples and 3/4 Cup Raisins. Stir until well coated. Cook until Apples begin to show transparency on the edges but are not cooked through. Stir often. Add more Butter if necessary. This will take about 6-8 Minutes.

Pour Egg/Milk/Flour mixture on Top. Place the Whole Works into Oven heated to 375 Degrees. Bake for about 30 minutes or until knife, when inserted in the middle, comes out clean.

While baking, mix 1 Tablespoon Sugar and 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon. When the Apple Pancake is done, put mixture on top, somewhat evenly but not perfect.

Serve with your favorite toppings. We used Homemade Apple Cider Syrup, Black Raspberry Syrup, and Maple Syrup. Sometimes we throw on some toasted Pecans too. Each of us comes up with our own Culinary Concoction uniquely suited to our tastebuds and expression of art.

Enjoy.

Serves 4.
