Baked Apple Pancake Soufflé

I've been doing a lot of searching for the perfect apple pancake recipe.. this is the best I've found. I use an 8" ceramic frying pan. Also, make sure the batter is all mixed really well before you put it in the pan!

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)

Ingredients: 2 1/2 tablespoons butter,divided 3 cups sliced peeled Granny Smith apple (about 1 pound) 2 tablespoons sugar 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (about 2 1/4 ounces) 3/4 cup fat-free milk 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 large eggs 2 large egg whites

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add apple and 2 tablespoons sugar to pan; sauté 7 minutes or until lightly browned. Reduce heat,and cook 5 minutes or until browned,stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

Melt remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons butter in an 8-inch cast-iron skillet, tipping pan quickly until butter coats sides of pan. Pour melted butter and 1/4 cup sugar into a blender. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Add flour and remaining ingredients to blender; process until smooth. Pour batter into prepared skillet. Top evenly with apple mixture. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cut into wedges. Serve immediately.

I usually add some cinnamon to the top right before I bake it. Also, if you put a little bit of maple syrup on top when its about halfway through baking, the edges will be a little bit crispier.
