Baked Apple Pancake (Gooseberry Patch)

I found this in a Gooseberry Patch casserole cookbook and I am posting for safe keeping. It was originally submitted by Kimberly Rocheleau from Ontario, Canada. There are quite a few versions of this on the site but I couldn't find one with the exact ingredients as this.
