Halloween Breakfast – Baked Apple Pancake Recipe

Ok, I know I promised that the focus this month would be on Pumpkin, but I just couldn’t resist this recipe….

This one is a bit different because you are actually baking the pancakes in non-stick skillets… I might have to try this technique.

I have an antique cast iron skillet and if I haven’t made pancakes in a while, it takes me time (and a number of ruined pancakes) to get everything just right.

INGREDIENTS

1 apple, seeded, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
4 tablespoons butter

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Toss apple slices with lemon juice and 1 tablespoon sugar in medium bowl.

Whisk eggs and milk in large bowl to blend. Add flour, 1 tablespoon sugar and salt; whisk until batter is almost smooth (small lumps of flour will remain).

Mix brown sugar, cinnamon and remaining sugar in small bowl.

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in each of two 6-inch ovenproof nonstick skillets over medium heat.

Pour half of batter into each skillet. Arrange half of apple slices evenly over batter in each skillet.

Transfer skillets to oven and bake until pancakes are set around edges but still wet in center, about 8 minutes.

Remove from oven; sprinkle half of brown sugar mixture over each pancake. Dot each with 1 tablespoon butter.

Carefully flip pancakes.

Return to oven.

Bake until pancakes rise.

Turn out onto plates, and serve immediately.
