Apple Pan Puff
It was beautiful, and I forgot to take a picture. It was also very good, and "held" me for most of the day. Steve liked that it was not too sweet, and Sam ate a bunch too.
Apple Pan Puff
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
.25 cup butter
3 eggs
.50 cup flour
.50 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
dash salt
Preheat oven to 450. Saute apples in butter until soft. Spread apples evenly over the bottom of a glass or ceramic pie plate. In a medium bowl, beat eggs. Add flour and beat until smooth. Stir in milk, vanilla and salt. Pour over apples. Bake for 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Serve immediately.
This is how the recipe appears in the cookbook ("Breakfast in Bed" -- a wedding gift). I made a few modifications: I used three small fuji apples, because that is what I had on hand. I did not peel them. I had four eggs and three hungry people, so I used all four eggs and increased the flour and milk a bit. I baked it in a rectangular Emile Henry ceramic dish, which made for lovely presentation but caused some butter to bubble out onto the bottom of my oven (joining the other miscellany encrusted there). Next time I'll use a larger dish or put a baking sheet under the pan to catch the drippings. I also sprinkled some cinnamon-sugar on top when I removed it from the oven. Enjoy!
