Ingredients
Instructions
- Beat Bisquick, egg, and milk with a rotary beater until smooth.
- Grease a griddle or frying pan.
- Cut apples into 1/8-inch slices.
- Dip apple slices into the batter, ensuring they are well coated.
- Cook the coated apple slices on a hot griddle until golden brown, turning once.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter batter, consider substituting half of the milk with sparkling water to add some airiness. If you don't have Bisquick, you can make a quick substitute using flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. For added flavor, sprinkle some cinnamon into the batter or on the apples before cooking. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
