Sous Chef Tip: Canned apple pie filling will work instead of topping. It will be a bit thicker, but still yummy!
FYI: This recipe is very similar to a Yorkshire Pudding or Popovers, it is, however, a bit eggier tasting than it's English cousins. :o)

Just RUSHED through your blog...busy mom! Loved it...keep it up!
Oh yum! I could wake up to that every morning!
Jodi-That looks amazing. I have been wanting to make an apple pie for about a week, and so when I saw your beautiful pancake it made me want to come for breakfast. God Bless. Thanks for coming to my blog. I posted about my finds that I got today!
I've made one of those! I have a recipe in my Betty Crocker cookbook. My recipe had the apples baked right in it though. I think we liked it, but it's been so long since I made it! (LOL)
Oh my word, that's the most sinful looking pancake I've ever seen. LOL...Save me some, please?? ;)

Oh, I can't wait to try this! I'm so excited that you can use a cake pan because I don't have an oven safe skillet. It looks delicious!!!
Kelli

Oh me!!! That looks absolutely wonderful!!! I'm going to have to write down that recipe and try it. Wow!! MMMMmmmmmmmmm!!!!
Caraquena, I'm so glad you stopped by and that you enjoyed your visit. :o)

Karen, I agree ~ my lips say "so", but my hips so "no" - lol!

Carrie Lee, Mmmm we love apple pie at our house, too! You come on over for breakfast, and we'll pop into your place for dessert - lol! Actually this pancake makes a nice, super-quick replacement for apple pie. It's not quite the same, but it does sometimes satisfy that craving. :o)
*****************
Ooo, Tammy, I've not seen a recipe that bakes the apples right into it. I'll have to see if I have that in my cookbooks. I actually got the original recipe for this from a friend of my sister-in-law when their families were both stationed in Germany. I have, however, tweaked it a bit to suit me better (as usual - lol).
*******************
Kristi, ;o) consider your piece saved!

Kelli, I always make one in my cast iron skillet and one in my cake pan. [*sigh* it's one of those recipes where one is not quite enough for our family size and two is too much, *but* somehow the left over always manages to disappear before lunch time - lol!] Anyway, there is very little difference between the two pans.
********************
Mary, I wish I *could* make one for you. It does smell wonderful!
**********************
Aldara, let me know how it works out. [I'm hoping it's more cooperative than those naughty peeps!] :o)
*****************
Julie, I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine. We consider this recipe a keeper. :o)
Jodi, Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a word of encouragement. I have enjoyed yours in the past and will continue to as well as be inspired by it. This recipe looks yummy! Pam
Oooh, that looks YUMMY!! I will definitely be making it in the near future!
