Peel and thinly slice (or chop) 2 lbs apples, saute in 1/4 lb butter, then mix in 1 t. cinnamon and 1/2 c. brown sugar. Pour the batter above on top and bake it and you have a German Apple Pancake.

These are just the best breakfast treat ever (I grew up on pop-overs, and the pancake is so much easier!). I like to drizzle some honey or pure maple syrup over it - and bondc's apple suggestion would be excellent, too. Great post - great picture!

Wow, you guys really love this recipe!
you all should try this Finnish version of this pancake here is the recipe:

Pannu Kakku (Finnish Oven Pancake)
5 eggs
2 cups whole milk
1-1/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
Directions: In a large bowl, beat eggs with a fork, wire wisk or egg beater. Gradually add 1/2 cup of milk. Add remaining milk, flour, salt and sugar. Beat until smooth.
Melt butter in a 13x9-inch glass pan by placing it in the oven until the butter melts and pour mixture into it. Do not mix the butter in. Bake at 450°F for 30 minutes or until top becomes brown.( i used a 10.5 inch cast iron instead)
Serve plain, with syrup, or covered with berries. (i used powered sugar)

Click the Pannu Kakku pic on my page to see the finished recipe. it is huge and filling!

My family and I are in love with this fun breakfast! the only thing i don't get is how to keep it puffy! as soon as i take it out of the oven it deflats. still yummy and still love it! I've cooked it with adding vanilla (2 tsp) cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg.

moss52 1 year, 3 months ago said:

Thank you!

I've made a German Pancake before, but never in a cast-iron skillet. I loved the suggestions of adding apples and the vanilla and spice mixture. Thanks for reminding me of this wonderful and easy breakfast.
