Apple Pie Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients for Apple Pie Pancakes

• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• Cooking Apple
• Pancake Mix
• 3/4 cup milk (or water)
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons cooked and crumbled bacon bits (optional)

How to Make Apple Pie Pancakes

1. Peel and slice 1 medium apple (about 1 cup).
2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/4 cup maple syrup and the sliced apples. Add 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
3. Simmer over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, or until apples are tender, stirring occasionally.
4. While apples simmer, prepare the pancake batter. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup pancake mix and 3/4 cup milk (or water, for a lower-fat option).
5. Stir in 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons cooked and crumbled bacon bits (optional).
6. Lightly spray a griddle or large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
7. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
8. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Serve 2 pancakes per plate and top with approximately 1/3 cup of the warm apple syrup mixture.
