Baked Apple Pancake

This is a lot like our favorite strawberry pancake. The batter is the same. The addition of the sliced apples, cinnamon and brown sugar make it a favorite for a fall or winter breakfast. It will make your kitchen smell wonderful in the morning.

 It will puff-up slightly.

 You can use a glass or pottery pie dish or a cast iron skillet.

 Melt the margarine in a pie dish in a 425 oven.

 Gather your ingredients: batter, cinnamon and brown sugar mixture, and sliced apples sprinkled with a little lemon juice and tossed in a bowl.

 Add the apples to the bubbly hot melted margarine/butter. Sprinkle half the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture on top of the apples. Return to the oven for 5 minutes.

 Then pour the batter over the apples. Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar/cinnamon mixture on top.

 Return to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until puffed and golden.

 Sprinkle with a little extra lemon juice and cinnamon sugar.

 The aroma of a baked hot cinnamon apple pancake and coffee brewing will lure you, or anyone out of a bed on a cold morning. 

You could also serve these with warm maple syrup,
though we prefer just a spritz of lemon juice and
a sprinkle of extra cinnamon sugar. 

Cut into wedges to serve.
You can double the recipe and use a 9X13 pan
and bake for 30 minutes..
