Instructions
THE CINNAMON APPLES
- Peel, quarter and core the apples. Slice each quarter into 5 or 6 slices.
- Mix butter and sugar in a saucepan over low heat until the butter melts. Add the cinnamon and apples and cook until the apples are soft and the liquid has reduced to about ⅓, stirring every so often.
THE APPLE CINNAMON PANCAKES
- THE DRY INGREDIENTS:In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, wholemeal flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. (At this point you can put your dry ingredients into a large plastic bottle with a decent sized opening and store for another time).
- ADD WET INGREDIENTS:Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the melted butter, milk, egg and vanilla. Roughly chop ½ of the cooked apples and add those too. Stir until incorporated. Rest the pancake batter for 15 minutes.
- Heat a light sprinkling of oil in a frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Allow it to heat for about 5 minutes before putting in first pancake.
- Use ¼ cup of batter and pour into pan – the size of your pan will dictate how many you can cook at once but I normally fit 2 into my pan at one time. When bubbles start to appear on top, carefully flip the pancakes. Cook other side until just golden.
- Keep warm on a baking tray in a warm oven while cooking the rest.
