  • 8

Ingredients

  • PANCAKE:
  • 4 apples
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp rum or water(optional)
  • 2 tbsp raisins
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • icing sugar (optional)

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 400F oven. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, flour sugar and salt until smooth--don't worry if a few lumps remain. Coarsely 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 400F oven until sides are puffy and deep golden brown for 22 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Pancake will fall quickly. To serve, cut into wedges. Dust with icing sugar and spoon compote over top.
