JEAN'S GERMAN APPLE PANCAKES

Pancakes
3 lg eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 c white flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp butter

Filling
1 lb tart, fresh apples
1/4 cups melted butter
1/4 cup sugar
Powdered cinnamon
Powdered nutmeg

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Beat together the eggs, milk, flour and salt until very smooth.  In a heavy 12 inch skillet, melt 1 1/2 tablespoons butter.  As soon as it is quite hot, pour in the batter and put the skillet in the oven.  After 15 minutes, lower oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue making another 10 minutes.  The pancakes should be light brown and crisp.  During the first 10 to 15 minutes of baking, pancakes may puff up in large bubbles,  If so, pierce thoroughly with fork. While the pancake is baking, prepare the filling.

Filling
Peel and thinly slice apples.  Saute them lightly in butter for about 8 to 10 minutes, add sugar.  Season with cinnamon and nutmeg.  The applies should be just tender, not too soft.  When pancake is ready, slice it onto an oval plate, pour apple filling over one side and fold the other side over.  Serve at once, slicing pieces off crosswise,

Jean Says:  This makes a great breakfast or dessert.
