German Apple Puff Pancake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 large apple (eg. Delicious)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup milk, at room temperature
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.
Peel the apples and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
Melt the butter in a skillet.
Add apple slices and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture. Saute the apples until they soften and become light golden brown on both sides (approx. 4-5 minutes).
While sauteing the apples, beat eggs and combine with milk, flour and salt, stirring well to make a smooth batter.
Pour the batter over the apples and place the pan in the hot oven.
Bake approximately 18 minutes. Do not open oven while baking. Use oven light to check. Pancake is done when it no longer appears wet on top.
To serve, invert the pan over a dinner plate.
