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.

NOTE- 1- Click on the picture and get a link to a post sharing the recipe. 2- Although all prices were correct at the time of the blog postings, the current cost of preparation of these dishes may be higher due to inflation and/or location. March USDA Thrifty Food Plan According to this plan our family would have a budget of $186.20 per week. Given our health concerns, we struggle to maintain this budget, but I am going to try to make this happen. Cost Saving Tip of the Week: When I purchase fruit for the week, it helps to calculate the cost per serving vs. the cost in general. For example, this week a whole watermelon was on sale for $3.99 each. When it is cut up, the watermelon will yield at least 20 servings which will place the cost per serving at $0.20.

Menu Planning #132

Our meals need to be nutritious, clean, flexible, quick and cost effective. Between our work schedules and after school activities, we need to carefully plan our meals so that we do not end up ordering out. The news is very scary at this time because of all the news of meat plants shutting down, grocery stories limiting the amount of meat a family can purchase and all of the talk about a depression on the horizon. We have decided to keep our grocery budget the same, but to economize any way we can. This week we tried to pick up some shrimp that was on sale, but the store was out of shrimp and not expecting to get any more in. We were grateful to find wild caught salmon for the same price, so we picked that up instead for our Mother’s Day Dinner. What did we spend?
