GERMAN APPLE PANCAKES 
4 eggs
1/2 c. flour
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 c. milk
1/4 stick of butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/8 tsp. nutmeg

FILLING:

1/4 stick of butter
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
3/4 c. sugar
1 lg. tart apple, sliced thin
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

FOR BATTER: Combine the first 6 ingredients (milk and flour first) in a large bowl, blend until smooth. Add melted butter, vanilla and nutmeg. Blend thoroughly. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

FOR FILLING: Combine the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small bowl and blend well. Thinly slice the apple after it has been cored and peeled. Melt the butter in a 10-inch oven-proof skillet, brushing the butter up the sides of the skillet. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle 1/3 cup of the sugar mixture over the melted butter evenly. Arrange the apple slices over top of the sugar in the pan and then sprinkle the remaining sugar mixture over the apples slices.

Place the skillet over a medium-high heat until the mixture becomes a liquid. (Do not allow the mixture to burn, the heat should only be high enough to melt the sugar.) Pour the batter evenly over the apple slices. Place the skillet into the center of the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn up-side-down onto a serving plate. Serves 2 people.
