Preparation

Step 1

1. To make pancake: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Melt butter in 4 individual ovenproof dishes, or in a 10- or 12-inch skillet with an ovenproof handle. Mix sugar and cinnamon. Layer apples in melted butter and dust with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Cover with foil and bake about 10 minutes.

2. Whirl eggs in blender or food processor. Pour in the nonfat milk or milk-cream combination, vanilla and flour, and continue whirling for 1 minute. Carefully pour batter on the sizzling hot apple mixture. Bake, uncovered, 10 - 20 minutes, until golden and puffed. Serve immediately with Cinnamon-Custard Sauce.

3. To make sauce: In a 4-cup measuring cup (to prevent splattering), combine all sauce ingredients except for vanilla and heat on high in the microwave, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens (2 - 3 minutes). Remove and stir in vanilla. Serve warm over pancakes.

These were delicious and so easy and healthy. This will be repeated again and again!
