Apple Pancakes

Continuing with the apple kick – we had apple pancakes for breakfast / brunch on Sunday. I can’t seem to get enough apples, these days! I’m already thinking of other things – and planning to buy more apples, this week.

The apple pancakes started pretty much the same as the banana pancakes that I’ve posted, before, but with some quick, and delicious, apple compote as part of the mixture and on top of the pancakes!

Apple Pancakes

Batter
2 eggs
1 cup milk
3 tbsp melted butter
1 1/2 cup self rising flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup cooked apple mixture

Apple Compote
4 small apples, chopped
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

• Prepare apple compote over medium – low heat, by combining ingredients and allowing to simmer, covered, 5-10 minutes
• Prepare batter by mixing wet ingredients (eggs, milk and butter) – then add in the dry ingredients (flour, sugar and cinnamon), mixing well
• Fold in the 3/4 cup of the apple compote
• Cook on hot griddle (or pan) that has been lightly oiled – 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake
• Remove pancakes, when bottom is golden brown
• Top with apple mixture and enjoy!
