Ingredients

  • 5 tablespoons butter (divided into 3 T. and 2 T.)
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/3 cup sugar

Method

  • Combine the eggs, flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, the pinch of salt, the baking powder, and the milk in a blender and blend until smooth. Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and add it, the vanilla, and the 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg to the batter and blend until mixed. Allow to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Place the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in your skillet or oven pancake pan and melt while you are preheating the oven to 400 degrees (watch that you do not let it brown). Swirl the melted butter to coat the sides of the pan.
  • Combine the 1/3 cup sugar with the 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and the pinch of nutmeg. Sprinkle half this sugar mixture over the melted butter in the pan. Evenly layer the apple slices on top. Sprinkle the rest of the sugar mixture over the apples. Bake this for 5 minutes or until the mixture is bubbly.
  • Gently pour the batter over the apples.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees and continue to bake for 10 more minutes. Serve at once with your choice of toppings.
