Quick Apple Pancake

During the Fall and Winter I LOVE to have wonderful breakfasts on the weekend. It's a great way to gather the family in the morning and relax and talk about our plans for the upcoming day. This recipe is one of our favorites AND it provides a great
use for those apples you'll be gathering while apple-picking this fall.


Ingredients:
1/4-cup margarine
1/2-cup sugar
1/4-teaspoon nutmeg
1 1/2-cups apples; peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2-teaspoon cinnamon


Batter:
1-cup Complete Pancake Mix (any brand will do)
1/2-teaspoon cinnamon
1/4-teaspoon nutmeg
3/4-cup water
1-teaspoon vanilla

Topping:
1-Tablespoon Sugar
1/4-teaspoon cinnamon


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a 9-inch pie pan, melt margarine in oven. Stir in apples, 1/2-cup sugar, 1/2-teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4-teaspoon nutmeg.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-minutes

In a medium bowl, blend all batter ingredients and pour evenly over the cooked apples in the 9-inch pie pan.

In a small bowl combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over batter.

Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Let stand 2-minutes and invert onto a serving plate.

Cut into wedges and serve.
