I have gone to the Original Pancake House off and on for years, great
food, especially breakfast. Their Apple Pancake is wonderfully decadent
and makes great presentation.

Rick Spence (ricktv.com) who often hosts "Curb Appeal" on HGTV, posted
this on his website recently and I thought you might want to post in
your recipe swap. I have not made this myself yet...but will this
weekend. I've had it at the pancake house and it's GREAT! Rick and
posters to his board "backwards" engineered this as they apparently were
unable to obtain it from the Orig. Pancake House.

5 Tablespoons of butter.
2 Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin. Actually we also
like the apples simply chopped up with the skins left on. It's better
for you this way too.
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Milk
1/4 Teaspoon Vanilla, use the good stuff from Mexico
4 Eggs
1/2 Cup Dark Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar

In a mixing bowl, add flour, milk, vanilla and eggs. Mix well. In
another bowl, mix the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and remaining
cinnamon.

Add butter to a 10 inch Pyrex pie deep dish and put in the oven. (deep
dish Pyrex is great) Crank to 400 degrees. When the butter is completely
melted remove from oven.

Now poor the batter into the Pyrex dish and put back in the oven for
20-25 minutes. The edges will begin to puff.

In a separate pan warm the apples, more butter (to taste) and cinnamon.
Cook for about 15 minutes or so.

Remove the half-way cooked batter from the oven and now add the apple
mixture to it. Just simply place the apples all over the top of the
batter. Next, cover the entire service with the brown
sugar/sugar/cinnamon blend and put it back in the oven for another 20-25
minutes.

This two step process makes all the difference and really comes out
awesome. When the edges are golden to dark brown but not burnt it's time
to remove and let the monster sit and cool for a few minutes. Then slice
and enjoy!
