Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel, core and thinly slice the Cox's apples. Strip the rosemary leaves and chop them finely.

  2. Melt half the butter in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the apple slices and rosemary and cook for 4 minutes, until softened and lightly golden. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. While the apples cook, whisk the eggs, milk, cream and plain flour together in a bowl with a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.

  4. Spread the apples evenly in the skillet and pour the batter over them. Cut the remaining butter into small pieces and dot them over the batter.

  5. Bake for 12 minutes, until puffed, golden and set. The center should reach 160°F (71°C) on an instant-read thermometer.

  6. Let the pancake rest for 2 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve hot.
