Whole Wheat Apple Pancakes

October 21, 2010 by Tiffany King 14 Comments

I’m pretty sure my family eats more pancakes than the average household. We rarely ever have them for breakfast. My kids know if Jim is out of town, we’re probably having pancakes for dinner. Or if I need a super-quick meal, pancakes it is.

I served this stack for lunch after church, with ham and a fruit salad. I dressed up the whole wheat pancake recipe with apples, applesauce, cinnamon, nutmeg and brown sugar. Delicious appley goodness on an October afternoon.

Grab a few common pantry ingredients and you’re all set:

This used to make a regular appearance on the supper table when I was growing up.

Raise your hand if you like Red Hots mixed in your applesauce. {Raises hand, and jumps up and down}

Hope you’re having a great weekend!

Ingredient Spotlight – Apples/Applesauce

This is the third post in a new series where you get to link up your recipes! Each week I’ll focus on a different common pantry ingredient. I’ll link to a few of my recipes that feature the ingredient and then give you a chance to link up to your blog.

Fall is here and so are the apples! Is there anything better than a crisp, sweet apple just picked from the orchard? Jim’s favorite Sunday night supper is an apple (he likes his tart) with cheddar cheese and a bowl of popcorn. Simple and delicious!

Every week, I buy a bag of apples from the grocery. I like having them for eating and for cooking and baking. Here are a few of my recipes using apples:

Harvest Apple Pot Roast – Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner.

The Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner recipe challenge this week was for Beef Pot Roast with Maple Sweet Potatoes. I used the recipe as inspiration and then did my own thing. The roast turned out delicious. It smelled wonderful as it simmered in the slow cooker. The ingredients are a bit strange, and to be honest I wasn’t sure it would turn out at all. But I’m happy to say that we all loved it.

Old Fashioned Spice Cake with Caramel Glaze

I have a confession to make. It does involve bananas, like my last confession, but only indirectly. It will also lead to how this cake was born. A week or so ago, I fed my family muffins and milk for dinner. That’s it. Everyone survived. My 14 year old son did give me a questioning look when I told him that’s what we were having. I offered that he could fix an egg for himself, but he downed 4 or 5 muffins in just a few minutes and seemed satisfied.
