Today we had a late breakfast and we found that it would nice to have something smaller for lunch. After a short search in Kato's recipe I found that this is the perfect recipe.<br/>I prepared this this for 4 peoples and we all enjoyed it very much ... it was so good in 15 minutes all was gone!<br/>The recipe was perfect, the dough had the right consistence even after the minor change I did using milk instead of cream.<br/>Thanks a lot for this dessert/snack! :)

My goodness, this is one delicious baked pancake. The cinnamon/sugar mixture was just enough to sweeten the apples but not so sweet as to make it seem like a dessert. I bought enough apples to make a whole batch, but my apple supply seemed to have mysteriously dwindled to only 2 when it was time to make this recipe. So I made 1/3 recipe and baked it in my small (8-inch) cast iron skillet, and it made enough for 3 large portions (could even get by with 4 portions for smaller appetites). I have a hot spot in my oven and I kept turning my skillet to keep it from browning too fast. Despite my efforts, the edge all around seemed to have scorched a tad. But nonetheless it still tasted wonderful. I'd happily serve this Danish Apple Pancake to company or even for a special occasion, because it's much better than a plain pancake and makes breakfast a special occasion. Thanks, Baby Kato.
