  1. I used 2 apples and doubled the dough but not the eggs. I added cinnamon on top of the apples. This was good with powdered sugar on top. Thanks Carrie :) Made for Cookbook tag game

  2. My dh & I really enjoyed this special treat. I should tell you that my dh seldom eats pancakes, but was thrilled with these. They were quick and easy to make with great results. The pancake was perfect, soft tender and filled with apples and cinnamon. Thank you so much for sharing a new family favorite.

  3. I made this for company by doubling the recipe and baking it in a glass cake pan(9x13)and that worked out just fine. However, next time I will spray the pan with non-stick coating first. I used a bit less butter and softened the apples in it in the microwave. The butter/cinnamon/sugar drizzle tops this off PERFECTLY but being a diabetic, next time I think I will try adding a little cinnamon to the apples as they are softening and forego the drizzle. While this is much like Dutch Babies, don't expect it to rise into such high peaks and, as Carrie says, don't expect it to brown. The plain Dutch Babies are a family favorite but they have to move over to make room for this new favorite. We will make these again and again. I try to make enough to have leftovers as they were excellent the next day warmed over at the office! Thanks, Carrie, for this great breakfast recipe!Update: I've made this several times now for company. Most recently I doubled the recipe and put the apple in one half the pan and put blueberries in the other half. The blueberries were a delight and it is a wonderful way to incorporate more of them into the family's diet.

  4. This is a quick and easy version of what I have always called a Dutch baby pancake. This goes together fast and is very flavorful. My family really enjoyed this for breakfast. Thanks for sharing!!

  5. I impressed my mom for mothers day and my whole family!! They loved it!! Thanks for such a well-written recipe!!! I tripled the recipe and added brown sugar and cinnamon sugar instead of regular sugar in the pancake part of the recipe. I also added cinnamon sugar--I used McCormicks cinnamon sugar--it is finer cut than regular sugar--all over the top of the pancake when there were only about 5 minutes left to cook, so there was a nice brown color. I didn't use any butter for the top, and it turned out great.
