Oven-Baked Deep-Dish Apple Pancake

Oven-Baked Deep-Dish Apple Pancake

Yankee Hill Inn, Plymouth, Wisconsin

3 eggs
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup pancake mix
1/3 cup sugar, total
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3 large cooking apples, peeled, sliced
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

In a mixing bowl combine the eggs, milk, pancake mix, and 1 teaspoon of the
sugar. Combine well until it forms a smooth batter. Set aside. In a small
bowl combine the remaining sugar and the cinnamon. Set aside.

Spray a microwave safe, 2 to3-inch deep, 9-inch, round glass pie plate with
cooking spray. Then, add all the sliced apples to the dish. Cover with
plastic wrap. Cook in the microwave for 5 to 6 minutes, or until apples are
tender.

When apples are done cooking, sprinkle pecans on top of apples. Then pour
reserved batter over apples and nuts. Then generously sprinkle the top of
the batter with the cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Cover the pie plate with foil and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the
pancake is set. Best served hot with maple syrup or apple cinnamon syrup.
