Baked Apple Pancakes

Last Sunday, we went as a family of four to pick apples.  Out of the many varieties that the farm grows here in Upstate New York, we chose the Empire, for it's crispness.  None of us here like the overly sticky, mushy apple.  With over nine pounds of apples that our toddler picked off the trees, we had to come up with something different to make.  Although, after a week of munching on the apples, remember 9 pds, we only had THREE left.  Amazing, but true.  My big little and my hubby snacked the week away in fresh crispy apples!

This morning we made some Baked Apple Pancakes, adapted from The Company's Coming by Jean Pare Series.  It was surprisingly yummy and easy, even with my big little "tap, taping" the eggs and mixing.  A couple of extra minutes in the oven wouldn't have hurt either, but we were hungry!

For the apple part:
2 tbsp butter
2 apples, thinly sliced, no need to remove peel
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (we used more!)

For the batter:
3 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup flour
2 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt

In microwave melt butter in a 9x9 inch pan.  Tilt pan to cover edges and bottom with melted butter.  Lay apple slices in pan.  Sprinkle with first amt of sugar and cinnamon.  Return to microwave and cook for about 1 min or until just starting to soften.
Beat eggs in bowl.  Add milk, flour, second amt of sugar and salt.  Beat well.  Pour over hot apples.  Bake in 450 degree oven for about 20 min until puffed and edges are browned.  Serves 4.
