Apple Puff Pancakes

This is yet another Gooseberry Patch recipe!! I just love Gooseberry Patch! Can't you tell? This is more of a desserty addition (yes, I just said desserty!) to our breakfast dinners that we have regularly. It's in the Farmhouse Christmas cookbook, the very first GBP book I ever bought! Again...love it!!

Apple Puff Pancakes

6 eggs
1 1/2 cup milk
1 c. all purpose flour
3 T. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 stick butter (the recipe calls for margarine but we use butter)
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
2 to 3 T. brown sugar
powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In blender, mix eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, salt and cinnamon until blended; set aside. Pour margarine into a 13"x9" pan and add apple slices evenly to the dish. Return to oven until butter sizzles. Do not let apples brown. Pour batter over apples. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake on the middle oven rack at 425 for 20 minutes or until puffed and brown. Dust with powdered sugar to taste. Serve immediately. Makes 6-8 servings. (Fed our family of 10 fine as a side dish.)

Enjoy!
