Theology In Overalls "German Apple Pancake" by Gregory Crofford for Thursday, 1 January 2014

Theology in Overalls

"German Apple Pancake" by Gregory Crofford Amy and I tried out a recipe for German Apple Pancake, taken from Allrecipes.com. You can read the recipe overat this link. My family likes to rib me about "German heritage days," when I'm especially vocal about how I think things should be done. A positive part of that German heritage (through my mother, whose maiden name was Schwinge) is a knack for making delicious dishes and confections. (I'm not there yet, but I'm learning!) Amy and I had fun making this one together. This recipe tasted pretty eggy (is that a word?) since it uses 4 eggs. Also, it uses surprisingly little sugar for such a large pancake. We didn't have an ovenproof skillet, so we just folded everything into a glass pie shell. That worked just fine. The two of us polished it off, no problem. The German Apple Pancake is not likely something you'll make on a regular basis. We hope to have it each New Year's Eve, as our tradition.

German Apple Pancake

Recipe by Mollie_Cole 

"Also known as a Dutch baby, this is a terrific 'special day' recipe. If you are strapped for time, you can start it the evening before and pretty much pop it in the oven. The presentation is excellent! You can shorten the preparation time by using apple pie filling, but the crisp of new apples really makes it."
