This recipe is good and my family scarfed down the entire thing in no time BUT next time I will definitely do two layers of apples since the thick layer of pancake did come out dry. Apples batter apples batter. I also tossed my apples in cinnamon before placing them in the dish which gave it a more even color I think. Will definitely make this again!
This was a great recipe! We all loved it. Even my 2yr old wanted more. So easy and little mess. This was a last minute dinner decision so I sub'd buttermilk for half the milk. used walnuts instead of pecans. dbl'd the cinnamon and baked for 25min. I also put the butter in my pie plate placed it in the oven while it preheated - that melted the butter just in time for me to add the other ingredients. plus less mess. I will mix the apples syrup and cinn. together first next time though. I can't wait to try this with other fruits and nuts. Seemed more like we had dessert first... no wonder the kids liked it so much:0) ooh put it in a bowl and drizzle with a little extra syrup and some cream... MMMMM!
I used 2 entire Granny Smith apples added a little Craisins left out the pecans (we don't like nuts) and it was yummy. We also used real maple syrup which makes a big difference (not as sweet as Aunt Jemima). Easy to assemble and delicious. Impressive enough for company.
Not bad. I feel as if it's missing an ingredient but now that I've realized I missed the boat on the maple syrup (don't have any--was going to add maple flavoring but forgot) I suppose that could be it. I do think however that a caramel bottom would be really good and add to the flavor--just add brown sugar on top of the melted butter like you would do for a pineapple upside down cake. I also added chopped apple and pumpkin pie spice to the pancake batter which I liked. Thanks for the recipe!
It cooked just fine though I think it needed more sweetness. Next time I may add some brown sugar to the apples. I used bisquick along with soy milk which I think gives any pancake a nice flavor.
I used my own whole wheat baking mix lowfat butter milk and I added a half teaspoon of nutmeg. (When I make this next time I might use apple pie spice instead of just cinnamon and nutmeg. I might do brown sugar instead of maple syrup too.) When I could I used all organic ingredients. This was very easy to make this morning it literally took a matter of minutes. Using an apple peeler and apple sectioner made it go super fast. My kids really thought this was great. I like making these because it's quick filling and when it's done all you have to do it cool it a bit then flip it out and cut it with a pizza cutter. Plus it's kid friendly for beginning cooks!
Dry. That is the way I felt about this recipe. I used 5 T. of syrup and baked 22 min. I used Bisquick for the mix...maybe a different pancake mix would help. The flavor was good but the texture was dry.
After reading all the reviews I was ready for a delicious pancake breakfast. But my family and I thought that it was way too dry and have made way better pancake recipes. Wouldn't recommend making this.
Oh my - These are to die for! I've made these for company several times now and they always get RAVE reviews. They're best with plenty of pecans.:) And a good cup of coffee is a must!
I am shocked that this recipe has such a high rating. I usually get such fantastic dishes from here but this was terrible. It had absolutely no flavor and was DRY DRY DRY. I followed the recipe exactly.
