Apple Oven-Baked Pancake

If you are Catholic (like me) and don't like fish, you find yourself looking for other non-meat related meals to each during Lent. One such meal is pancakes. This is a super easy bake in the oven pancake that makes 4 servings. You can have it for any meal during Lent and for breakfast the rest of the year.





Ingredients:
1-2 tablespoons butter or margarine (I use 1 tablespoon Brummel & Brown)
1 egg (it tastes the same if you substitute with equal amount of Egg Beaters)
3/4 cup Fiber One™ Complete pancake mix (from 28.3-oz box)
1/2 cup milk (I use skim)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (splurge and use real vanilla and not imitation)
1 small apple, very thinly sliced (leave the peel on for more fiber)
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon-sugar (I use half in the batter and half sprinkled on the apples)
Maple-flavored syrup, if desired


Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400°F. While oven is heating, melt butter in 9-inch glass pie plate in oven.
2. Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat egg with wire whisk or egg beater. Beat in pancake mix, milk and vanilla. Pour over melted butter in pie plate. Arrange apple slices on batter. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
3. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until edges are deep golden brown. Serve warm with maple syrup.
