Apple pie spice is a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves or ginger. If you don’t have any on hand, you can substitute cinnamon and a dash of cloves in the recipe.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter

¾ cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed (see Tips)

½ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup fat-free milk

¼ teaspoon apple pie spice

⅛ teaspoon salt

Nonstick cooking spray

2 medium apples, cored and thinly sliced

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar (see Tips)

2 teaspoons water

Caramel Sauce

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch

½ cup water

1 teaspoon butter

½ teaspoon vanilla

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place butter in a 10-inch ovenproof cast iron skillet with flared sides. Place skillet in oven for 3 to 5 minutes or until butter melts. Meanwhile, for batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, milk, apple pie spice, and salt until mixture is smooth. Immediately pour batter into the hot skillet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until puffed and well browned.

Step 2

Meanwhile, lightly coat an unheated medium saucepan with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat over medium heat. Add apple slices, brown sugar, and the water. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until apples are golden brown and tender, stirring occasionally.

Step 3

Shortly before pancake is done, prepare caramel sauce: In a small saucepan, stir together brown sugar (see Tips) and cornstarch. Stir in water. Bring to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil gently, uncovered, for 3 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in butter and vanilla.

Step 4

Spoon apple mixture into pancake; drizzle with sauce. Cut into wedges.
