A Week:
A is for Apple, Asparagus, Apricots, Avocado, and Artichoke!
From “The Farm Chicks in the Kitchen.” “We love this old-fashioned recipe, which is really simple… The flavor is similar to an apple pie, just in puffy pancake form. When drizzled with maple syrup, this pancake is impossible to resist,” authors write in the book.
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 apple, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
5 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Dash of salt
Maple syrup or confectioners’ sugar, for serving
Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in a 9-inch glass pie plate. Heat in the oven until the butter is melted and bubbly – 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 or food processor and process until frothy – 1 minute. Pour over the apple mixture. Bake until the cake is puffed and the center is set – 18 to 20 minutes. Serve warm with maple syrup or sprinkled with confectioners’ sugar. Makes 8 servings.
