Apple Puff Pancake

Submitted by greyghost

"I found this recipe on a website called gmtoday- greater Milwaukee.com posted by Scott and Beth Shully who own Shully's catering in Thiensville. It was a huge hit for my boyfiend and his kids Christmas morning! And as Beth Scully stated on the website - it makes the whole house smell wonderful while it is baking. Most of the work is done the night before - so it is so easy the next morning just to put it together and bake."
