HOLY smokes is this tasty. I made breakfast for dinner..... this would be great for brunch, bfast, lunch dinner and all snacks in between! It should have it's own place on the food pyramid! Be sure to slice the apples thin so they cook all the way thru. I did and they were the perfect texture. One other note, I think the serving size is wrong, I could eat one by myself.. and almost did! ;^P To serve I inverted on a plated and inverted again on a warmed plate for serving. I think I'm gonna sneak back for another slice. Oh, and the rest of the family loved it too... the kids gobbled it up! Thanks for another killer recipe Kitten!

This was great. I had made this for my children when they were little. I lost the recipe, but they never forgot it. When I found this one by accident, I made it for my husband, who has never liked anything I have cooked. (American vs. Englishman!) He said it was "lovely." I'm sending the recipe to my, now, grown up little boys. Thanks ever so much.

My kids said this is the best pancake recipie Ive ever tried - and I try a new recipe every weekend! I baked it in a 12 inch round skillet and I used 8 pieces of cooked bacon instead of apples - we had had a puff pancake in Holland last year like this that I wanted to replicate. It is amazingly perfect!
