Awesome Apple Pancake Recipe
Adapted from a Champlain Orchards recipe that was contributed to the Dishing up Vermont cookbook by Tracey Medeiros
3 eggs
1/2 cup plus 3 TB whole milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or substitute whole-wheat for up to 1/4 cup)
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp almond or pure vanilla extract
2-3 peeled apples, cored and thinly sliced
2 TB honey
3/4 tsp cinnamon
2 TB butter
Maple syrup for garnish
Warm an iron skillet in a 425F oven. With a handheld blender, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour(s), salt and extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, toss together apples, honey and cinnamon. Melt butter in the warm skillet. Arrange the apples in a single layer on the bottom of the skillet. Carefully pour the batter over the fruit. Bake for 25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. To serve, drizzle with maple syrup.
