Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a 9-inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray, ensuring it's well-coated.
2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 5 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, mix in 6 tablespoons of brown sugar and cook for about 4 minutes, or until the sugar has fully dissolved and the mixture becomes syrupy. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon for added flavor.
3
Carefully pour the caramel mixture into the prepared pie pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Arrange 1 cup of thinly sliced apples on top of the caramel, making sure the apples are distributed evenly. Set aside.
4
In a mixing bowl, sift together 1 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a dash of salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of buttermilk and 1 egg until well combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just blended. Gently fold in 3 tablespoons of melted butter until incorporated.
5
Pour the pancake batter evenly over the arranged apple slices in the pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the pancake is puffed up and golden brown around the edges.
6
Once baked, remove from the oven and let the pancake sit for 10 minutes to set. Carefully invert the pancake onto a serving dish, allowing the caramel and apple topping to flow over the pancake. Serve warm and enjoy!
