German Apple Pancake

Ugh. I’m stuffed. I think these pancakes are designed for 2 or more people. Two people get large servings. I just ate one by myself. Well I had to, new range and all.

The reason these pancakes are so filling is the face that the recipe starts with three large granny smith apples and then adds more on top of that. I don’t usually eat three apples in two days time, let alone one.
Cooking the apples

The apples are sautéed in butter with brown sugar until golden, and then the batter is added. The whole concoction is then placed in the oven for between 15 and 20 minutes.

When removed from the oven, it is flipped out onto a plate. Serve it topped with maple syrup. You just can’t go wrong with one of these. Well, you can if you’re expecting a buttermilk pancake. These have a hearty eggy flavor regular pancakes don’t have. Not too surprising considering they have 2 eggs in them.

Well anyhow, I think break time is over. I need to get back o work and try to burn some of that rich appley, eggy goodness off.

5 Days to go…

Yesterday, I accomplished most of the planned tasks. I finished the books and DVDs this morning.

The new range was just installed. I will be christening it shortly with a german apple pancake. A delicious recipe using both the stove top and the oven so it will put the entire appliance through it’s paces.

I have spent the morning rearranging some more, and cleaning some more. No major rearranging of things yet today. Now I will schedule the men to come to remove junk. That will open up a lot of space in the outer and inner entry way. I will also empty a closet I need to store things but is currently full of, well, junk.

Stay tuned, more to come.
