An Apple Baked Right Into the Pancake
Slice an apple into rings, dip them in batter, and you get a pancake with the fruit built into the middle instead of piled on top. They cook in a few minutes, they hold their shape, and they are far easier than they look. Good for a slow weekend morning, good in a lunchbox, and good cold straight from the fridge.
What You'll Need
- 2 large apples
- 1 1/2 cups Heavenly Foods Original Mix
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup water, or sparkling water for a lighter batter
- Butter, for the pan
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Peel the apples and slice them horizontally into discs. Cut out the center of each slice to create a ring.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the Heavenly Foods Original Mix, eggs and water until smooth.
- Heat a pan or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter.
- Dip an apple ring into the batter, letting any extra drip off, and place it in the pan.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining rings and batter, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
- Serve warm with maple syrup.

Make It Your Own
Swap the Original Mix for Cinnamon Apple and the whole thing leans further into fall. A firm apple holds its shape best, so reach for Honeycrisp, Granny Smith or Pink Lady.
