German Apple Puff Pancake

Submitted by Joyful_FandC

"We saw this recipe on Michelle Greenwald's (www.magicalmeltingpot.com)Yahoo Blog, and gave it a try. We both assumed it would be too sweet and gooey for breakfast, but since it's dreary and rainy this morning, figured we'd fire up the oven and give it a try. YUM! It wasn't too sweet at all, and the pancake had a bit of a custardy taste. It was easy to put together and made enough for the both of us, with a couple bites of crust left over for our four dogs. The recipe omits instructions for making up the batter, but we just combined the ingredients and mixed well. We used a 10-inch iron skillet, but any oven-safe non-stick pan would do."

I have been wanting to make this for some time now and I finally got the chance to this morning. Ohh, it looked so good when it came out of the oven I had to show everyone but I took one bite and it was like eating cinnamon eggs. I will try it again because I feel like it's a good recipe but I'll definitely add much more flour maybe like 3/4 or a whole cup. Still the taste was good(ish).

Made for Fall 09 PAC Premie Adoption. I picked the biggest nicest apple I could find off my tree in the yard to make this for breakfast this morning. This was not only easy, but extremely delicious, add a drizzle of maple syrup if this isn't sweet enough. But ohhh my goodness, it is good, good, good. Thank you for a wonderful keeper, I will be making this for Sunday Brunch often.

I made this for DH and I as a Sunday morning breakfast treat. It was great, & very quick & easy to make as I used pre-sliced apples from my freezer. However, when I started making this recipe & read the directions, I realized there was no mention of sugar in the ingredients. I did manage to locate the original recipe on the web & found it calls for 3 tablespoons sugar. Will made again!
