Tips

I've made this recipe with walnuts mixed in the baked apples, it is delicious that way too but higher in cal/fat (not included in nutritional information).


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450. In a small glass baking dish, combine ingredients for baked apples.

2. In a blender or food processor, combine all pancake ingredients. Blend until fully mixed.

3. Put apples in oven, bake for about 20 minutes (until apples are soft), stirring every 5 minutes to keep the apples baking evenly.

4. Heat butter in a skillet over low-medium heat until butter fully melted and skillet is hot. Pour about 1/4 of the batter onto skillet. Cook for 3-5 minutes, until the bottom of the pancake is golden-brown, then flip and cook for 1-2 minutes. Repeat until batter is gone.

5. Stack pancakes on a plate and top with baked apples...and enjoy!

Serving Size: Makes 1 serving of 4-5 pancakes w/ about 1 cup baked apples
