I started making this for breakfast on Saturdays as a sort of giant, sweet, fruity pancake. My daughter named it “Apple Skillet” for obvious reasons. 🙂 We like it with a light dusting of powdered sugar and a side of bacon.
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 8
Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: about 15 minutesIngredients
3-5 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 stick butter
1/3 c brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 c baking mix (Bisquick or your own homemade version)
1 c milk
1 egg
1/3 c sugar
Directions
Cook apples over medium heat in a large skillet with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until apples begin to soften, stirring often and being careful not to burn the sugar.
Mix together baking mix, milk, egg and sugar.
After apples are soft, pour batter over apple mixture but do not stir in. Sprinkle the top with a little cinnamon and more sugar, if desired.
Place skillet in preheated oven and bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes or until top begins to turn golden.

Kelly, I made the apple skillet this morning for brunch…Yum! We both loved it. I even used my cast iron skillet…had to find it in the back of the cupboard first. Thanks so much for posting this! Will definitely make it again.

I would give this recipe 10 stars if allowed. The best skillet pancake I have ever made. It’s so moist sort of between a pancake and cake. First time I made it was with apples; second was pineapple out of my frezer; third was pineapple and banana; and today blueberries. I used 1 cup of blueberries I had in the freezer and it was just perfect. Thank you Kelly for such a great recipe which I will be using many times in the future.

I’m going to have to try this recipe again. I think I flubbed it up. First, I made the apple part in my big cast iron pan. Then I left it in a cold place overnight so I would only have half the work to do in the morning. While the apples sat in the pan overnight, the apples became discolored from the cast iron pan. I plowed ahead and completed the recipe, but the whole thing didn’t look very appetizing after that. I took it to a pot luck brunch, and it was hardly touched. Those who did take some loved it though. Next time, I’ll make it in a stainless steel pan or plop it on a serving dish or something. Presentation is so important, and that’s what I goofed on.
