German apple pancake breakfast

This morning we thought we'd make a nice breakfast with Aubrey.  Looking through one of our cookbooks we came across this apple pancake recipe.  Jeff said it reminded him of something his mom made when he was a child.  I'm the first to admit that I love nostalgic  recipes; so we thought we'd give it a try.

I mixed the 1/2 cup and 2 tbsp flour with the 1/2  cup and 2 tbsp milk and three eggs. This made a crepe-like batter; which I set aside.

Jeff chopped up two apples and to this we added the suggested 1 tbsp of lemon juice and 1 tbsp of sugar. We also set this aside.

Then I mixed the 6tbsp sugar and 1/2 tbsp of cinnamon together. 

Jeff only used 2 tbsp of the butter; once it was bubbly he added the batter.

Then they added the marinaded apples. 

Next they sprinkled on the sugar mix; Jeff said they barely used 1/2 of it. 

They put it in a preheated 425F oven on the convection setting. 

This baked for 17 minutes; just enough time to make coffee, and set the table.  We served it with Greek yogurt and REAL maple syrup.  It was delicious!

Aubrey really enjoyed it! I'm sure we could of added powdered sugar to it as well but Jeff and I enjoyed it as-is.  The cast iron pan created such a yummy crispy edge. We will definitly make this again and probably play with the recipe a bit; Jeff wants to try it with bing cherries.
