Baked gingerbread pancake

This no-fuss, delicious, savory pancake inflates like a balloon in the oven but then sinks immediately while it's cooling, forming an inviting nest for toppings like yogurt or sliced pears. It's an easy way to serve a crowd without having to make individual pancakes, plus the presentation is far more creative, and the best part is that this pancake comes together in less than half an hour. We love making it during the fall when the temperatures start to drop, as the ingredients that are called for in this recipe, like applesauce, molasses, ginger, and cinnamon, really evoke the season.
