Ingredients for Apple Bacon Pancake Pie

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 ripe pear, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Gala), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups milk

How to Make Apple Bacon Pancake Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet or frying pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add crumbled bacon, diced pears, and apples. Cook until slightly softened and heated through, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in thyme.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, and milk until smooth. Season with salt.
  5. Spread the fruit and bacon mixture evenly over the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  6. Pour the pancake batter over the fruit mixture.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pancake batter is puffed and lightly golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares.
  9. Serve warm with warmed maple syrup.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
