A new take on a retro recipe for dutch babies!

I had this delightful dish at a local restaurant in Portland, Oregon and had to replicate it. After months of tasting and comparing I finally came up with a close "copy-cat." I must admit, this would also be good with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. —Sarah Gilbert

Poorly written recipe. It's got cast iron and pie dish. The actual procedure makes no sense. I'm winging it because it's only an apple pancake, but that doesn't excuse the poor detail by the author.
