German Apple Pancake

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 500°F. In a  small saucepan, combine the apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and cook over medium heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes.
2. While the apples are cooking, whisk together the flour, salt, and milk. Add the eggs, whisk again, and set aside. Place the butter in a glass pie plate and melt it in the oven, this should take about 2 minutes.
3. When the butter has melted, carefully remove the hot dish from the oven and turn to coat the bottom and sides with the melted butter. Add the cooked apples to the butter and spread them across the pie plate. Pour the pancake mixture over the apples.
4. Return the pan to the oven and reduce heat to 425°F. Bake for 18 minutes; the sides of the pancake will rise over the rim of the pie plate and brown slightly.
5. Using hot pads, remove from the oven and place a large plate on top of the pancake. Invert the pie plate over the plate to release the pancake. Dust generously with powdered sugar, slice and serve.
