Cheap Meals For Your Family

It’s called Puffy Oven Apple Pancake Casserole and it’s one of those cheap cooking recipes every one has to try.

The ingredients are very basic (making it a cheap recipe), I had everything already in the pantry or refrigerator.

The only possible draw back was the 30 minutes you have to let the pancake mix sit before baking but an easy and even better solution was to prepare it the night before, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Have fun with the recipe, I hope you enjoy it and let me know if you get creative as I love taking a recipe and adding to it – so share, share, share!!
