Caramelized Apple-Stuffed Pancake |
This morning, I made a pancake stuffed with caramelized apples- perfect for fall . You start by heating a large cast iron skillet in a hot oven. While the pan is heating, you prepare the pancake batter which consists of eggs, flour, salt, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. The batter is similar to a popover batter Whirl the ingredients together in a blender and set aside. You then cook the apples in butter with fresh ginger, lemon juice, and sugar until they are soft. Melt some butter in your hot skillet, pour in the batter and bake. When the pancake is done, place it on a plate and fill half with the apples. Fold the other half over the apples, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve. It is that easy. Your family will have a delicious and nutritious breakfast to begin their day:)
