Did this week fly by to anyone else but me? I can’t believe it’s the weekend already.  Is it just me, or do you feel like the older you get the quicker every day goes? I am still in shock that I am listening to Christmas music on the radio again. That seems like it was just yesterday. So fun, but so crazy! I am super excited for the holiday season to begin. Especially once I get all of our painting done. Once I am done with a couple rooms in our basement I will have painted our entire house…every inch. Phew! It’s a good thing I didn’t know that was my plan until I got going. Hopefully our house will be clean and ready for the holidays. That will be a modern day miracle here at our home lately 🙂
Well, if you are having a slower weekend at home and want a delicious and festive breakfast idea (or heck, make them for an easy dinner), these pancakes are one of our families favorites. I posted about them four years ago and we still eat these several times a month during the holidays. With the cinnamon, diced apples, apple pie filling and candied pecans, it is really the perfect breakfast for the fall. It is everything you want on a cold, brisk morning. Hope you love this recipe too 😉
Ingredients
- 3 cup milk
- 1 cup applesauce
- 3 Tbls. lemon juice
- 4 eggs
- 2 apples chopped and cored (with skins on)

- 4 tsp. baking powder
- 3 cups white flour
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 2 cups wheat flour
- 4 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. nutmeg
- 2 tsp. salt

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, lemon juice, eggs and melted butter. Whisk until smooth. Rinse and core the apples. Cut apples into small pieces and put into the bowl. Combine and then add the remaining ingredients. Whisk until flour is incorporated and the batter comes together. Heat a pancake griddle to medium high heat. Spray with non stick cooking spray or put some butter on the griddle. Pour a fourth cup of the batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles pop and the bottom side is golden brown. Cook on the other side until browned. Top with apple pie filling, candied nuts and/or maple syrup.
