Week #2 of Our Thankfull Tree

Apple Breakfast

1/2 C. Butter
4-6 medium Apples; cored, peeled, & sliced
6 Eggs
1 C. Milk
1 C. Flour
1/2 C. Sugar
1 Tbl. Cinnamon
1 Tbl. Sugar
Lemon Juice

Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Saute the butter and the apples until apples are almost soft. Combine the eggs, milk, flour, cinnamon, and sugar together in a bowl. Place sauteed apple mixture in the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Pour egg mixture over the top and sprinkle with the cinnamon and sugar. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until mixture is thoroughly cooked through. Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve hot with butter syrup.

Butter Syrup

1/2 C. Butter
1 C. Sugar
1/2 C. Evaporated Milk

In a saucepan over medium heat melt the butter and sugar together until smooth. Add evaporated milk, bring to a boil, and remove from heat. Serve Hot!

Variations: Try adding a teaspoon or two of vanilla or maple flavoring. Or try using 3/4 -1 C. of your favorite jam instead of the sugar!

Great on top of ice cream, fresh peaches, cobblers, pancakes, waffles, and just about anything else you can think of!
