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 cup sugar mixed with 1-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 cups of prepared pancake batter (instant is fine)
