REUBEN'S APPLE PANCAKE

Steps:

• Peel, quarter and core apple and slice into 1/4-inch thick, quarter-moon-shaped slices. Place in bowl with raisins, 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Mix well; cover and allow to marinate for at least 24 hours; longer if possible. Stir occasionally.
• Beat eggs with milk and beat in flour and vanilla to make smooth batter.
• In a well-seasoned 8-inch French steel skillet with sloping sides and long handle heat 2 tablespoons butter until it sizzles. Add drained apples and raisins and cook over medium heat, stirring, for about 5 minutes, until apples soften.
• Add another 2 tablespoons of butter and melt. Pour in batter evenly and cook over medium-high heat, pulling sides of pancake away from edges and allowing batter to flow under and cook. Keep lifting with spatula to keep from sticking. When pancake begins to firm up, sprinkle 1/4 to 1/3 of the sugar evenly over the top.
• Add another few tablespoons of butter, slipping it underneath the pancake. Then flip the pancake and cook, allowing the sugar to caramelize. When it begins to brown, sprinkle top with another 1/4 to 1/3 of sugar. Add more butter if needed. Flip pancake again and allow sugar to caramelize on the bottom.
• Sprinkle 1/4 to 1/3 of sugar on top. Add more butter to pan if needed. Flip pancake once again and continue caramelzing.
• Sprinkle top lightly with sugar and place in 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, to caramelize further.

REUBEN'S APPLE PANCAKE

Steps:

• Peel and core apple and slice into moon shaped pieces, 1/4 inch thick. Toss with 11/2 tablespoons sugar and the cinnamon in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, stirring occasionally.
• When ready, preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk eggs and milk in a bowl until blended. Whisk in flour and vanilla until smooth.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a shallow 12-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet until it sizzles. Drain apples and add to the pan. Cook, stirring, until apples soften, about 5 minutes.
• Melt 2 more tablespoons of butter in pan. Pour in batter and quickly arrange apples evenly before batter sets. Increase heat to medium-high and pull edges away from pan to allow batter to flow underneath and cook, sliding a wooden spatula under pancake to keep it from sticking.
• When batter is set but still wet, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar. Place a cookie sheet over pan and invert the pancake onto it. Return pan to heat and add 2 tablespoons butter, swirling to coat. Slide pancake back into the pan to cook other side. Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle top with 2 tablespoons sugar. Cook until sugar on bottom side is caramelized, about 2 minutes.
• Using cookie sheet, flip pancake out again. Slide pancake back into pan 2 more times, adding 2 tablespoons butter to pan and sprinkling with 2 tablespoons sugar each time. Adjust heat so that the sugar caramelizes but pancake doesn't burn.
• Bake in pan until brown and crisp, about 20 minutes. Slide onto a platter and serve hot.
