Preheat oven to 350F.
Heat oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add butter and allow it to melt.
Add apples, syrup, and cinnamon to the skillet.
Cook 2-3 minutes, or until bubbly and apples are softened.
Whisk together pancake mix and water in separate bowl.
Pour over fruit in the skillet.
If the fruit moves to one side or another, gently use a spatula to make sure it's evenly spaced or give the skillet a little shake.
Place pan in oven and bake 20 minutes, or until pancake is set.
Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes.
IF you would like to serve it as an upside down pancake, you can...use a spatula to loosen pancake from skillet. Place large plate over top of skillet and flip to release pancake onto plate. It will taste amazing no matter how you serve it! I promise!
Topping with yogurt or whipped topping if desired.
Enjoy!
