Step
3
Heat skillet over medium heat; grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cupfuls batter into skillet. Once batter has stopped spreading and begins to set, place 1 apple round on top of each. Cook 2 to 3 minutes longer or until bubbles appear at surface and edges are dry. Turn; cook 2 minutes longer or until browned. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing skillet before each to prevent apple slices from sticking.

Serve immediately with syrup.
Apples best for baking are Gala, Granny Smith, Jonathan and Jonagold.
To prevent apple slices from browning while cooking pancakes, toss apples with 1 tablespoon lemon juice right after cutting.
Place pancakes in 200-degree oven to keep warm until ready to serve.
