Easy Baked Apple Pancake

Imagine sinking into a warm, fluffy pancake topped with tender, caramelized apples—this baked apple pancake turns breakfast into a fun, delicious adventure that’s perfect for brunch and sweet mornings.

Ingredients

  • 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
  • ½ stick butter
  • ½ cup sugar mixed with 1-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 cups of prepared pancake batter (instant is fine)

Process

  1. Heat oven to 375°F.
  2. Heat butter in an 8 or 10-inch oven-safe skillet. Add sliced apples and cook until they become soft.
  3. Add the sugar / cinnamon mixture, cook until the apples are soft and the sugar is melted.
  4. Add prepared pancake batter on top of the apples
  5. Bake the pancake for 20 to 30 minutes until it is firm. Check by inserting a knife in the center; if it comes out clean, it is ready. Then, take the hot pan out of the oven and flip the pancake onto a plate.
  6. Scrape any sugar/apple mixture onto the top of the pancake, cut into wedges, and serve with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh fruit.
