German Apple Pancakes

I don't even know how to describe these little pancake gems, they are marvelous and a kid favourite. Even my picky eater picks at them.

First remove your concept of pancakes, are they gone? Good!! These fluffy, cinnamony, apple goodness are more like upside down cupcakes. Not only do they come out in single serving size, they are pretty elegant looking too. Great for family brunches and holiday breakfasts. They also work wonders for dessert if you like to do breakfast for dinner.

The recipe makes six servings, and it simple enough to double too!!

2 tbs butter
5 tbs sugar
2 apples, peeled,cored and diced
2/3 c flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tbs lemon juice (or apple juice or vanilla works great too)
1/4 c brown sugar
3 lrg eggs
3/4 c milk
Muffin tin

While oven preheats butter tin and add sugar to six of the twelve cups
