Apple Pudding Cake From Southern Living

• 1 medium granny simth apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups pancake mix (the just-add-water kind)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups apple juice
• ice cream (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Toss chopped apples with lemon juice in a medium bowl. Add brown sugar; stirring well to coat.
3. Whisk together pancake mix, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; stir in milk, butter, and vanilla. Fold apple mixture and any accumulated juices into batter. Spread into a lightly greased 8" square pan.
4. Microwave apple juice in a 2 cup glass measuring cup at HIGH 2-3 minutes or until boiling. Using a spoon, gently drizzle hot apple juice over batter in pan (some batter may float once juice is added.).
5. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a cake layer forms on top and layer springs back when touched. Let cool on a wire rack 25 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream.
