I can NOT for the life of me remember where I found this recipe. But whenever I'm home and I got a cravin for Apple-cinnamon pancakes... I tend to look for a new recipe to try. I've tried it with oatmeal... I've tried it with Bisquick ("instant" pancake mix)... and then... I came across this recipe, which of course, had a picture of the pancakes. Now, how cool is it that this has HUGE slices of apple in it. Check it out!
Apple-Cinnamon Pancakes (version 3)
2 Granny Smith apples (I used Golden Delicious--which worked just as well)
2 tbsp. ground cinnamon
2 eggs
2 cups of flour
2 1/2 cups of milk
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
4 tsp. baking powder
Peel and core the apples. Slice thinly (They can be moon shaped, but what I did was I cored the apple and sliced it horizontally.) Toss with the cinnamon. In a (separate) mixing bowl, mix together the remaining ingredients. Ladle the batter into a pan with oil, then place the sliced cinnamon-apple in the center of the pancake batter. Carefully turn over and cook until both sides are golden brown.
What are the other two versions of apple-cinnamon pancakes that I like? (you ask?) Well, I don't like to share ALL my secrets... but here's a couple other recipes you can try on the same day or another day.
Apple-Cinnamon Pancakes (version 2)
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
2 eggs
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
dash of salt (optional)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cups veggie oil
2 tbsp honey
1/2 cup unpeeled apple, chopped fine
Pour milk over oats and let stand for about 10 minutes. Stir in eggs. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and add to the oats, mild and egg mixture. Stir in oil, honey and apples.
Quick note on the apples--I don't remember if I left them unpeeled... Sometimes what I like to do is "roughly peel the apple"--meaning leave some peel on there but peel off some of the peel. (Just because the thought of leaving those apples unpeeled totally doesn't sound that appealing to me.) OH! And I almost forgot! I cheated jus a lil maybe... I used INSTANT (Quaker) Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal--yum-O! I think it jus adds to it... If you're worried about the extra sugar, I guess you could always cut back on the... honey? (haha... I also jus noticed that this recipe doesn't add sugar--very healthy, don't you think?)
Apple-Cinnamon Pancakes (version 1)
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups milk
1 whole egg
1 egg white
3 tbsp oil
1 apple, finely chopped
Combine milk, egg, egg white, and oil. Mix dry ingredients. Add combined liquids. Stir in apple. Cook on griddle.
Hahahaha... I copied this recipe verbatim... I think. It's a basic apple-cinnamon recipe... for those of you too afraid of the above recipes--here's something a bit simpler.

Another good thing about this recipe is that it's an easy and fun way to get rid of your extra apples before they spoil!
I think you need to hurry up and make this for me in person! I think that you underestimate the "Jackie" special ingredient. Is that bottled/packaged at a store somewhere?
doh! I think I did bust out the secret ingredient on those recipes--I was talking about the pancake recipe with the oatmeal. I wasn't going to reveal it at first, but I used Quaker's (instant) apple cinnamon oatmeal (instead of rolled oats)--it makes it sweeter and more tasty.
i have had this from the chef herself, awesomeness !!!
