Take the work out of making pancakes on a Saturday morning with this super easy iron skillet apple pancake. Just add syrup!
With this sweet and moist apple skillet pancake they’ll be no more waiting to flip the flap jacks.
It’s as easy as cooking the apples and pouring the batter on top and letting the oven do the work.
I’ve made the pancake batter from scratch but I’ve also used box pancake mix for this recipe.
If you use store-bought simply follow the directions on the back of the box to make 4 to 6 servings. That’s usually one cup of pancake mix.
I love Granny Smith apples in this breakfast skillet because they’re tart and sweet and hold up well. I do think the more apples in the recipe the better. So load up on the apples!
This is a great breakfast for weekend and holiday mornings because you can stick it in the oven and it’s done in no time.
It can also stay in a warm oven till you’re ready to eat it.
So put the spatula away and forget about flipping the flap jacks. This easy iron skillet apple pancake is the way to go.
