Serves: 2

Breakfast, Brunches and Entertaining

Yield: 1/2 pancake

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium granny smith apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inch slices
9 packages sugar substitute, splenda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup 1% milk
1 tablespoon sour cream, light
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
confectioners' sugar for dusting

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. To make the apple filling, in a 10-inch ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the apples, sugar and cinnamon and sauté, stirring constantly, until the apples begin to soften and brown lightly, 3-5 minutes. Remove from the heat. 2. To make the pancake, in a bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat the eggs until lightly frothy. Add the flour, milk, sour cream, salt and lemon zest and beat just until a smooth batter forms. 3. Immediately pour the batter over the apples in the hot pan and place in the oven. Bake until nicely puffed and golden brown, about 25 minutes. 4. Using a small fine-mesh sieve, lightly dust confectioners’ sugar over the top. Serve directly from the pan, cut in half or into 4 wedges. Serves 2 to 4.
