An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away

It is true - An apple a day is so healthy for you. It is nearing apple season. Apples are usually very inexpensive this time of year. I usually make apple sauce and homemade apple cider. The smell of baking apples is so good.

Here is a recipe that we tried that everyone really liked.

Apple Puff Pancake

Place the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a 9-inch glass pie plate. Heat in the oven until the butter is melted and bubble – 5 minutes.

Remove from the oven, stir well and mix in the apple slices. Return to the oven and bake for 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the eggs, milk, flour, and salt in a blender and process until frothy – 1 minute. Pour over the apple mixture. Bake until the cake is puffed and the center is set – 18-20 minutes.

Serve warm with maple syrup or sprinkled with powdered sugar.
