Apple Pfannelkucken ($0.35 per Serving)

I was first introduced to this delectable dish by The Frugal Girl.    I enjoyed her
recipe but modified it to suit my family’s preferences.  


Now whenever we need a little pick me up or a special breakfast, we will make
a few of these pancakes and enjoy.    (I must confess we need to make
multiples because my son will eat an entire pancake himself.)    


Ingredients: 
4 Tablespoons of Butter
3 Tablespoons of Brown Sugar
2 Eggs 
6-7 Tablespoons of Flour
¼ Teaspoon of Salt
6-7 Tablespoons of Milk
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla 
1 Medium Apple 
2 Tablespoon of Sugar 
½ Teaspoon of Cinnamon 


Instructions: 

Place butter in a 9 inch pie plate and
place in the oven.   Heat oven to 400 degrees F. 

In a medium bowl, beat eggs, flour, salt, milk and vanilla until smooth.  

In a separate bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.  

Remove pan from oven when butter is melted and
add brown sugar.   Stir until combined.   

Peel and slice apples.  
Then place in the pan in a decorative manner.   

Sprinkle it with sugar and cinnamon.   

Pour batter over the top and bake in the oven for
18-20 minutes or until puffed and brown.  

When finished flip onto a cutting board
and cut like a pie.    Enjoy.

My week has been really busy and I just didn't get around to it. 1- Fall Garden Harvest    With the weather turning cold, we harvested the tomatoes that were left and made dice tomatoes out of them.   This will come in handy for making our taco soup and chili in the upcoming weeks.   In addition, we are able to add a few jalapeno peppers to the dishes.  Our dried mint was placed in containers for making tea this winter and fresh clippings were added to the drying rack.     Finally, our seeds are dried and ready for storage for next season.      It was a lot of work but worth it....
