    Title: German Apple Pancakes
    Categories: Fruits, Breads, Herbs
    Yield: 6 servings

    2 Granny Smith or other tart
    - cooking apples; peeled,
    - cored, thin sliced
    2 tb Fresh lemon juice; more for
    - drizzling
    4 tb Unsalted butter; divided
    1/4 c Light brown sugar; packed
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
    pn Fresh grated nutmeg
    3 lg Eggs
    3/4 c All-purpose flour
    1 tb Granulated sugar; more for
    - sprinkling
    pn Kosher salt
    1 c Whole milk
    1/4 c Dark rum or cognac; (opt)

    In a medium bowl, add the apples and lemon juice; toss
    to coat.

    In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2
    tablespoons butter. When the foam begins to subside,
    stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the
    apples and cook until darkly caramelized and fragrant,
    11-12 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.

    In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the flour,
    granulated sugar, and salt until smooth. Add the milk
    and continue whisking until a thin, smooth batter forms.

    In a nonstick 8-inch skillet over medium heat, melt 1
    teaspoon butter. When the foam begins to subside, pour
    in 1/3 cup batter, tilting the skillet to coat entire
    surface with batter and form a thin pancake. Cook until
    just set, about 2 minutes. Evenly distribute one-third
    of the apples over the pancake, then pour another ? cup
    batter on top, tilting the skillet to coat the surface
    and the apples with batter. Cook until the edges of the
    fresh batter have begun to set, 1-2 minutes, then use
    two wide, offset spatulas to flip the pancake. Continue
    cooking until the bottom is evenly golden brown, 1-2
    minutes more, then turn out onto a large plate. Sprinkle
    generously with granulated sugar, then roll the pancake
    up like a jelly roll. Sprinkle with more granulated
    sugar, and if desired, drizzle with a few drops of lemon
    juice. Repeat with the remaining batter and apples to
    make a total of 3 rolled pancakes.

    If desired, you can flame your pancakes: In the skillet
    used to cook the apples, add the rum and remaining 1
    tablespoon butter; warm over medium heat. Add the
    pancakes, spoon the rum mixture over the top, and remove
    from the heat. Working quickly and carefully, use a gas
    lighter or a long match to set the pancakes on fire.
    Shake the skillet gently until the flame goes out, then
    transfer the pancakes to a large plate. Serve warm.
