Apple Dessert Pancake

Dear Friends and Family,

Here's the recipe I promised for an apple pancake. I can't even venture to guess the point damage it would reek on Weight Watchers. But, it's a excellent add to a breakfast brunch. Everyone can take a slice, an eighth of the pancake.

Ingredients

• 1 large golden delicious apple
• 4 tbs butter
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup AP flour
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 4 large eggs, separated

1. Peel and core apple; cut into 1/8 inch thick slices.
   
2. In a 10-inch skillet with all-metal handle, over medium-low heat, melt butter. Stir in cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar; remove skillet from heat.
3. In butter mixture in skillet, arrange apple slices, overlapping them slightly. Repeat with smaller circle in center until pan is filled and apples are used up.
4. Return skillet to low heat; cook 10 minutes or until apples are tender-crisp.
5. Meanwhile, preheat over to 400°F. In medium bowl, with fork, beat flour, milk, baking powder, salt and egg yolks until blended. Set aside.
6. In small bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat egg white and remaining 1/3 cup sugar until soft peaks form. With rubber spatula, gently fold egg-white mixture into egg-yolk mixture.
7. Cover apple slices in skillet with egg mixture with rubber spatula, spread batter evenly.
8. Bake pancake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove skillet from oven. Carefully invert pancake onto large platter to serve.

Voila! It's also nice at a breakfast brunch because it's a pretty addition to the table. Happy Friday, everyone.


Cheers!
