Staying at home means avoiding the nail salon, and as someone who always smudges regular nail polish (seriously, how is it possible that they can still be ready to smear by the time I go to bed?), I have a newfound appreciation for the variety of modern manicure solutions available.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten free bisquick
- 2 tbsp cooking oil of choice, plus a little for greasing the pan
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon, plus extra for topping the batter (I recommend being very generous with the cinnamon, personally!)
- dash of nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 1 apple of your choice, peeled and chopped. I used gala because that's what I had on hand
- A few slices of bacon, optional but recommended!
- Maple syrup
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees, and grease the baking pan.
- Cook the bacon (I usually bake this on a baking sheet as well, following the instructions on the package).
- While bacon is cooking, mix ingredients 1-6 together in a large bowl.
- Pour into the greased pan.
- Sprinkle cinnamon over the top of the batter, and swirl gently with a butterknife to give a nice "cinnamon swirl" appearance. Sprinkle apples over the top of the batter.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Broil for 3.
- Slice into squares and serve!
