Welcome to the channel and introduce the dish: German apple pancake.

Peel and slice 2 large apples, about 1.25 pounds total.

In a 10 to 12-inch saucepan over medium-low heat, add 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) of butter and melt until bubbly.

Add 1/4 cup packed brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon to the melted butter, stirring well to combine.

Add the sliced apples to the saucepan and stir to coat with the sauce.

Cook the apples for about 8 to 10 minutes, stirring every few minutes until they are cooked through and the juice is bubbly.

While the apples are cooking, preheat the oven to 425°F and ensure the oven rack is at the lowest position.

In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon table salt, and 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar, whisking until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 5 large eggs until well combined.

Pour half of the egg mixture into the dry mixture and stir until smooth, then add the remaining egg mixture and stir again until smooth.

Once the apples are done, ensure they are arranged at the bottom of the pan and pour the batter over the apples, covering them completely.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 18 minutes.

While the pancake is baking, prepare the maple sausages by cooking them on medium-low heat until browned and cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes.

After 18 minutes, remove the pancake from the oven and cut it into four wedges for serving.

Serve the pancake with powdered sugar, maple syrup, and maple sausages on the side.
