Baked Apple Pancake Dump Cake

Submitted by Katzen

"This is a recipe my Mom used to make for breakfast when I was a kid. It's cinnamon and buttery apples topped with a light "pancake" that is baked in the oven. We used to eat it with maple syrup. Delicious!!!"

We enjoyed the recipe, but it turned out a little different than I expected. While it was very light tasting, it didn't puff up the way I thought it would. Also, sauteeing the apples for 5 mins, and then only cooking the combined dish for 10 mins, really wasn't enough time for the apples to get soft - so mine had a slight bite to them. I would use this recipe, in conjunction with others, for brunch.

This is so light and delicious and bakes up quick to boot! I used brown sugar to saute my apples and cut the recipe down to 2 servings and baked in a mini loaf pan. It puffed up really high in such a small pan but it came out tasting exceptional! I topped mine with caramel sauce and whipped topping. It was like eating dessert for breakfast! MMM. Thanks for sharing Kat. Made for Sweet Traditions Tag Game.

This was divine! I used honey instead of sugar and whole grain flour to improve the nutrition. We topped ours with almond butter and fell in love! So simple, so quick, so good!! Thanks for posting we will be making this often.

An absolutely great tasting breakfast with this pancake, & easy to put together, too! We topped it off with just a thin spread of some homemade applesauce! A great keeper of a recipe, for sure! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars tag]

This was awesome. I made this exactly as stated. Everyone loved it. My husband added sliced bananas, pecans, and brown sugar on top. He said it was heaven. Thanks for a keeper.
