The Finnish name for this pancake is 'Omenapannukakku.'

INGREDIENTS

4 eggs
1-1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups sifted white flour
3 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
Cinnamon sugar, (1/3 cup sugar and 3 teaspoons cinnamon)
Whipped cream or whipped topping

Beat eggs well, add milk, salt and sugar. Sift in flour, mixing it well. Let the batter stand for 30 minutes.

Butter well two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans (or a 9 x 13-inch rectangular pan), and sprinkle with part of the cinnamon sugar. Arrange the sliced apples in the pans. Sprinkle the apples with cinnamon sugar, save some of the sugar to sprinkle over the batter. Pour the pancake batter over the apples, dividing it evenly between the pans. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar.

Bake in a moderate 375 degree oven for about 30 minutes or until the top of the pancake is golden and set.

NOTE - This is best served immediately, but can be reheated before serving. Serve plain or with whipped cream or whipped topping. You can also serve it with rhubarb, lingonberry, or raspberry jam.
