Heaven on a Plate!

That's what one of my 8th graders called this recipe. She ran home and made it for her mom and apparently now they have it about once a week.  Its very simple, but I have to say its really the syrup that makes it great.  You can use any old pancake recipe and add one grated apple to it.  The best apples are Jonathons or Red Delicious.  Anything else is too sour. I'm not going to post a recipe for pancakes. I hope you can all make those...? HAHA!  The official recipe is just called Apple Pancakes. Here's the syrup recipe.

Spicy Cider Sauce

Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbs Bisquick (or pancake base powder)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 cup apple cider (apple juice works, just less spices)
1 tbs lemon juice
2 tbs butter
Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine sugar, Bisquick and nutmeg.  Add cider and lemon juice.  Mix well with wire wisk.  Cook over medium high heat, stirring constantly.  The mixture will start to boil and should also thicken up.  It will NOT be a heavier syrup, but the longer it boils, the more it will thicken.  I usually let it boil for about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in butter until it melts.  Serve over hot apple pancakes.

Truly, adding the butter at the end is what really makes this divine.  I could drink the syrup and maybe have a pancake on the side.  Enjoy!
