Apple & Walnut pancakes
My husband loves pancakes, so I try had to come up with different ways to make them. this is one of his favorite. this morning as he was eating them he suggested I post this one on my blog. so here I am blogging about this recipe my husband loves!
I make my home made pancakes but you could also use whatever pancake mix you like. My husband like Buttermilk pancakes so rather than using any oil in my batter I use buttermilk and eggs. I also like to add a little cinnamon to the batter.
the syrup is an apple & walnut syrup that my husband loves just as a desert some times.
I start with 2 apples sliced thin, I leave the sking on them. Put 1/2 a stick of whatever butter you like to use in the pan ( I use real butter) place apples on top of butter and allow butter to melt over Medium heat the apples will start to cook. when the butter has melted add about 1/2 a cup of Brown sugar and allow to desolve in the butter. stir to coat all of the apples. then add 1 cup of walnuts if you perfer less you can add less. if you would rather have a different type of nut you can add whatever you prefer. I have made this with Pecans but my husband prefers walnuts. stir in nuts and then add a dash of all spice, 1/4 tsp of Cinnamon and a spash of Vanilla. continue to cook over medium until apples are tender but not mush. i like for them to hold there shape. allow to cool a little so the brown sugar mixture thickens and coats everything even more. place a pancaked on the plate and top with the apple walnut mixture. you can serve with a spoon on cool whip or even redi whip. this is a great breakfast and I promise it will be a big hit in your house like it is in mine.
this topping is great on ice cream as well…my husband hate pie crust so i serve this over ice cream rather than making apple pie.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my husband and I do. sitting down to breakfast together is a great way to start the day. enjoy!
