Instructions: Ok, here is the Apple Pancake recipe that Ive come up with, borrowing from various other recipes. It is very similar to The Original Pancake House Apple Pancake. I grew up in Portland Oregon, where the first OPH started, and when I moved away, I missed having this pancake so much I was determined to recreate it! :-)

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Beat together eggs, milk, flour, salt, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg and 1/2 tsp. cinnamon until smooth. Add apples to batter. Melt butter in 10-inch cast iron skillet (if you dont have cast iron, use what you have, but heavier works better). When very hot, pour in batter. Remove from heat and *quickly* sprinkle a handful of brown sugar over the top, to taste. I like to make sure every spot gets some sugar. Then sprinkle some more cinnamon over the top and put in teh oven. After 15 minutes, lower heat to 350 degrees and bake for 10 more minutes.

ALTERNATE METHOD: Use the full 1 1/2 T. of butter, and before you pour the batter in the pan, sprinkle the handful (I have small hands, so I use a couple handfuls... if you like it less sweet, use less) of brown sugar over the bottom of the pan, with a sprinkle of cinnamon, then
*gently* pour the batter in and cook as above. Keep an eye on it to make sure you dont burn it (both methods).
