Apple Slice Pancakes

These Apple pancakes are a creative way to fit fruit into your breakfast. Top with extra cinnamon or berries for added flavor.  ​

Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients
1 apple, cored, sliced into thin rings (we like Granny Smith!) 
2 ½ cups pancake mix, prepared as written on package*
½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions
  1. Lightly coat a griddle or skillet with cooking spray, and heat over medium heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add cinnamon to prepared pancake mix.
  3. For each pancake, place 1 apple ring on griddle. Top with about ¼ cup batter, starting in the center and covering the apple.
  4. Cook until bubbles appear. Turn and cook other side until lightly brown.

​*If pancake mix package calls for milk, use non-fat or low fat milk. Nutrition information will differ based on pancake mix used.

Note: To test the griddle to see if it is hot, sprinkle it with a few drops of water. When the drops sizzle and dance, you are ready to cook! The easiest way to pour the batter onto the hot griddle is to use a ¼ cup measuring cup for each pancake. If the first pancake gets brown too quickly, lower the heat.
