When I was a kid we had a local restaurant that served a killer apple pancake. It’s been nearly 30 years since I’ve had that pancake but I remember it like it was yesterday. This recipe nailed the flavor exactly. Absolutely loved it. I didn’t have a cast iron skillet so I baked it in an 8” glass pan. Worked perfectly. This recipe is definitely a keeper.

I reviewed this about 2 years ago when I first made it, and have made it manny times since. This is a VERY delicious Apple Pancake. We enjoy it every time I make it. I have found that I can cook the apple in the skillet then I bake the pancake in the same skillet. I do add more cinnamon than as called for as we love the flavor of cinnamon also I use splenda instead of sugar. This is very good served with maple syrup and a little lemon squeezed over the top, YUMMY. Thank you Judy, for this delicious recipe that we have enjoyed many times.
