This was easy to make and not too sweet. Which I liked. My children really enjoyed also.

Well, I doubled the cinnamon & the sugar while still serving these for breakfast ~ A sweet breakfast, but still breakfast! ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL TASTING, & a definite keeper of a recipe! Thanks for sharing this winner! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Zaar Stars Tag Game]

Wow! I don't know what I expected, but this was delicious! I'm not a huge pancake fan, but my DH and DS are so I thought I'd give this a shot. I loved the caramelly tasting apples and the almost bread pudding like texture. This will definitely go into the keeper file. I think it would make a great breakfast for houseguests. Thanks for posting Lainey!

Very tasty! I halved the recipe and baked it in a 8 inch round dish, which seemed to work fine. I'd never tried cooking a baked pancake before but it turned out great. I did find it needed 25 mins in the oven though. Thanks!

I did half the recipe. I used a mixer to do the batter. It was delicious without confectioners' sugar. Thanks Lainey :) Made for 123 hit wonders
