How could something so delicious have only 173 calories per serving? Sometimes I think your "Calorie Counting Department" is staffed by pranksters.

Apple German Pancake

Batter:
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 T sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 cup egg substitute
1 cup fat-free milk
1 tsp vanilla


Apple Mixture:
1/2 cup sugar, divided
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 cup peeled and thinly sliced granny smith apple (about 1 apple)

Remaining Ingredient:
1 T powdered sugar

To prepare batter, combine flour, baking powder, 1 T sugar, salt, and 1/8 tsp nutmeg in a medium bowl. Whisk in egg substitute, milk, butter, and vanilla. Let stand 30 minutes. (Mine was slightly lumpy no matter how much I whisked it, but the pancake still turned out great.)

Preheat oven to 425.

Coat bottom and sides of a 10" pie plate with cooking spray. Combine 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp nutmeg, sprinkle evenly over bottom and sides of pan. Arrange apple in an even spokelike layer in pan. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup sugar (You can tell in the picture that I also sprinkled mine with dried cherries. It was delicious.).

Cook apples for 8 minutes, then slowly pour batter over them. Return to oven. Bake at 425 for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 375 (do not remove pancake from oven) and bake an additional 13 minutes or until center is set. Sift powdered sugar over the top, serve immediately.
