       Title: APFELPFANNKUCHEN (GERMAN APPLE PANCAKES)
  Categories: Fruits, Penndutch, Breakfast
       Yield: 6 servings
  
       2 lg Cooking apples (Yellow
            -Delicious, or Granny Smith)
     1/4 c  Butter
       1 c  Flour
       1 c  Milk
       1 ts Vanilla extract
     1/2 ts Salt
     1/4 ts Nutmeg, grated
            Confectioners sugar
  
   Preheat oven to 475.  Peel, core and very thinly slice
   the apples: you should have approximately 1-1/2 cups.
   Melt 3 T sp. of the butter over medium low heat in a
   small fry pan, and saute the apples until they are
   just tender.  Keep apples warm while preparing the
   batter.
   
   Place a 9 or 10 inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to
   heat for at least 5 minutes--the pan has to be very
   hot for this to work.  When it is well heated, add the
   remaining 2 T sp. of butter to melt and put the
   skillet back in the oven;  the butter should be very
   hot buy not brown when you add the apples and the
   batter.
   
   Place the flour, milk, vanilla, salt and nutmeg in a
   blender and whirl until smooth.  Remove the skillet
   from the oven, quickly arrange the warm apple slices
   over the melted butter, and pour the batter evenly
   over all. Bake for 15 min., reduce heat to 375 and
   bake 10 min longer. The pancake will puff and climb up
   the sides of the pan. Sprinkle with confectioner’s
   sugar, then cut in wedges and serve with maple syrup.
   
   Note:  If you do not use apples, add 1/4 cup (1/2
   stick) butter to the hot skillet.
