Baked Apple Pancake

This morning it was overcast and a little chilly, so I decided to make something warm and comforting for breakfast.

I had one-half of a raw Fuji apple that I needed to use and I thought of this riff on a baked apple pancake. I photographed each step so you can follow along:


Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
 Core the apple and cut thin slices – I prefer to leave the skin on.
In an ovenproof skillet, melt 1 Tablespoon of butter and add the apples in a single layer to the pan.
Sprinkle with 1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon sugar.
 

Cook about 5 minutes and then flip them over and cook a few more minutes.
 While the apples are cooking, put milk in glass measuring cup or a medium bowl and mix in egg.  When egg and milk are beaten together, add baking mix and mix just until blended.
    


Pour batter over apples in pan and sprinkle with a little more cinnamon sugar.   

Bake about 15 minutes until set and pull out of oven.  

You can flip onto a plate or cut into slices and flip them over when you put them on the plate.
 Serve with syrup or jam or fruit medley.   I served with blackberry jam – Yummy!



Recipe Details Follow for 1 to 2 servings cooked in a 6-8 inch skillet:

One-half raw apple
½ cup milk (you can substitute non-dairy milk of your choice)
1 egg
1 cup baking mix (I used Trader Joe's multi-grain baking & pancake mix; you can use any baking mix)
Cinnamon-sugar mix (buy pre-made or mix 1 part cinnamon to 2 parts sugar)
1 tablespoon butter (you can substitute any oil or margarine but the taste may vary)
 Note: This recipe can be doubled and cooked in a 10-12 inch skillet
 

Yes you can have baked apple pancake during the week!


Until next time… may you find enjoyment in food and nature,
