Walker Brothers Easy German Apple Pancake/Carrie Sheridan

one of my Top Ten favorite foods since i was 18 years old and used to order this at the Walker Brothers Pancake House - a favorite restaurant for those who live on the North Shore of Chicago - so quick, so easy, so delicious - special for Christmas morning, too

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

• 1 -2  apple, sliced very thin
• 2  tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1⁄3 cup flour
• 1  teaspoon sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄3 cup half-and-half
• 2  large eggs
• 4  tablespoons butter, melted
•  cinnamon sugar, added to butter, to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees [i use a Cuisinart larger sized toaster oven - a great appliance for cooking for 2].
2. In a cast iron or LeCreuset ovenproof pan, cook sliced apple in melted butter until softened. Remove from heat.
3. Mix flour, sugar, salt. Add half and half and blend. Add eggs and whisk thoroughly. Pour this over the sliced apples and place in preheated oven.
4. Bake in oven for 12-15 minutes. Remove when puffed and not browned.
5. Melt butter in pan while pancake is baking. Add cinnamon sugar to taste. Dish up pancake and drizzle melted butter/cinnamon sugar over each serving.
6. [use 2nd apple if you'd like this to be more fruit than pancake].
