Recipe Description

With sweet apples, tart cranberries, and crunchy walnuts, this is a perfect fall breakfast that takes just minutes to make! Whole grain flour and ground flax seed give it a nice nutrition boost.

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Melt margarine in a 9-inch pie plate by placing it in the oven while oven is heating. When margarine is melted, remove the pie plate from the oven and spread the butter over the bottom of the pan and sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle walnuts evenly over the butter mixture, then top with apple slices and dried cranberries.

Beat eggs slightly in a medium bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients just until mixed. Pour batter over apple slices.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until puffy and deep golden brown. Immediately loosen edge of pancake and turn plate upside down onto a heatproof serving plate.

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Margarine
2 Tablespoons Dark Brown Sugar
½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
⅓ cups Chopped Walnuts
1 Apple, Cored, Then Thinly Sliced
⅓ cups Dried Cranberries
2 Large Eggs
¾ cups Whole Wheat Flour
2 Tablespoons Ground Flax Seed
½ cups Skim Milk
1 teaspoon Vanilla
¼ teaspoons Salt

Hi Amber,
I like the sound of this recipe but was wondering how the apples end up after 30 minutes in the oven? Are they soft like in an apple pie or still crisp? Sounds like I would prefer them to be like an apple pie texture so I’m wondering if the timing you say in the recipe would do that. Also, have you ever made them ahead the day before and then reheated them for serving? Have a girls night/sleepover this weekend and this looks like it would fit the bill perfectly if I can do them the day before.

I use pretty thin apple slices (I use an apple slicer that cuts the apple into 10 pieces, then I cut each slice in half so I get 20 slices) so the texture of the apple slices is like apple pie.
As far as reheating, the last time I made them I actually did have some leftover. I just reheated a few slices in the microwave and I thought it reheated okay. I have never tried reheating in the oven.
I hope that helps!

Thanks Amber. I have one of those slicers so I’ll try it that way and try a make ahead version. Hopefully it will work out good – maybe I’ll just have anyone eating it heat up their slice in the micro instead of trying to heat the whole thing up in the oven.

A delicious combination of eggs, bread, bacon, cheddar cheese, and onion straight from the skillet to the table (think of it as the love child of an omelet and a quiche).
