Preparation

Step 1

Peel and core apples; thickly slice 3 1/2 apples. In large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. As soon as butter is hot, add apple slices; cook, stirring occasionally, until nearly tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in maple syrup, rum or water and raisins. Increase heat to medium-high; cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and liquid has mostly evaporated.

PANCAKE:
Place butter in 10 inch pie plate; melt in 400 degree oven. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, flour, sugar and salt until smooth -- don't worry if a few lumps remain. Coarsley grate remaining half apple; stir into milk mixture.

Tilt pie plate to coat bottom and sides with butter. Immediately pour in pancake batter. Bake in 400 degree oven until sides are puffy and deep golden brown, 22-25 minutes. Remove from oven. Pancake will fall quickly. To serve, cut into wedges. Dust with icing sugar and spoon compote over the top.
