Directions
To Make Apple Topping"
Core and slice the apples. Place in a small saute pan with some water (approx. 1/2 c). Add remaining ingredients and cook with lid on until the apples are soft. Remove lid and cook until desired consistency...it is reminds me of apple butter but with apple skin :)...they add a nice tartness to compliment the sweetness of the apples, molasses & agave.

Pancakes:
Grind the grains in a coffee grinder as fine as you like. In a 4 c bowl, place the grains and the buttermilk and mix together. Let sit for about 10 minutes to soften the grain a bit. Add the remaining ingredients and a bit of water to create the desired consistency. Cook on a hot seasoned griddle or cast iron skillet. These cook more slowly than traditional white flour pancakes.

The texture will be somewhat chewy. Serve with spiced apples on top. Hearty, healthy & best of all delicious!
