¹⁄₈ teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup milk
7 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy 10-inch cast-iron skillet until it is bubbly.
Pour batter into the skillet and put the skillet on the top rack of the oven.
Bake until edges are browned and crisp, about 20 minutes.
Meantime, quarter, core and peel the apples and thinly slice them.

Spread them over the pancake, make a row of lemon slices across the top, and sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar.

Tasty and filling! I did add cinnamon and nutmeg to the apples. The lemons are great to please the eye but really not needed. Nice to se my Husband have a pancake without (tons) of syrup! Thanks for posting this recipe!

Excellent! The pancake was a wonderful consistency, and the apples pulled it all together. (I didn't use the lemon slices; personal preference.) This made an excellent Shrove Tuesday dinner, and it'll make excellent breakfasts in the Sundays to come! -j

Very easy and delicious! I made these for supper the other night for something different.

This reminds me of my mom's oven pancake, light and airy but somehow very filling! I love the apples on top-I used about 6 small, sweet, saucy apples so reduced the sugar to 1/2 Tbsp. Also didn't use the powdered sugar as I didn't want it very sweet, but the kids had cinnamon and sugar on theirs. This was delicious, just what I wanted for breakfast. Thanks!
