Hello there– Do you ever get a certain food on your mind and can’t stop thinking about it until you sit down to a plateful? Seems like I was thinking about pancakes all last week and finally when Sunday lunch hit, I made up a big pile of there sweet things. Actually they’re not too sweet– just the sweetness from the apple and a bit of brown sugar. With a couple strips of bacon and a mug of tea, they’re my kind of Sunday afternoon indulgence. Hope you like them too…
APPLE CINNAMON WALNUT PANCAKES
1 large apple (used Granny Smith)
1 cup flour
2 tab. brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 tab. canola oil
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Peel and core the apple. Grate it into coarse shreds. Set aside
Mix together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Then stir in the milk egg, oil and vanilla. Finally fold in the grated apple and walnuts.
Pour the batter, with a 1/3 cup measuring cup, onto a hot griddle that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Cook on medium heat flipping to brown both sides. Makes about 10 medium size pancakes.
Of course, there’s the part about adding butter and maple syrup as soon as they hit the plate. Enjoy!
The Thankful Heart 
Those are really beautiful and delicious pancakes Julie.
I called you Julie, so sorry Rhonda. Ugh…
I understand– you have so many followers to keep track of!! You can call me anything– it’s just fun to hear from you Suzanne!
Lol I was very tired and was overwhelmed with the email messages and blog posts I had to read I’m afraid I just got temporarily confused. I know you so well and felt badly.
It’s amazing you do all that you do get done Suzanne– I won’t tell you all my blog mistakes!! xo
thanks thanks Suzanne.
Apples & cinnamon! One of my favorite combinations. I agree, this is a great Sunday meal 🙂
thanks Daisy– don’t you like low key Sunday lunches?
Oh yum!!!! I really need to make these – I just posted a recipe related to a glut of apples I got from my mama’s tree, so perfect timing with this lovely apple recipe Rhonda! Yum. Such a super Sunday treat xx
Just read your post Laura!! the tree sounds beautiful even apart from the fruit. Love the buckwheat apple loaf… xo
I love apple cinnamon anything, but I haven’t tried this combo with pancakes. YUM! I’m going to try these, but will have to use my GF mix. Hopefully it’ll work out fine. I love the walnuts on top, as well. Your pictures are incredible, I just want to lick the screen! 😀
thanks Dana! Fun to find your blog– we don’t live in a snowy place, so those photos were incredible!
Thanks Rhonda, and for stopping by! I’m glad you enjoyed the snow photos, it’s much more fun to see them than to be there right in the midst! ha ha We’re getting even more today, although more freezing rain so it might be turning into an ice storm which, although beautiful, is very dangerous and scary. Hopefully it warms up before it gets bad and turns into rain. I think I’m heading to California! 😀
Take care in all that ice Dana! (my daughter lives in Wisconsin–so I see lots of ice photos and hear her cold weather stories too). Happy weekend ahead…
Oh Delish and great for a Friday Lenten meal! I will tell you what I have been obsessing over lately – a ciabatta roll with brie, fig jam and olive tapenade. I had it a few weeks ago at a little sandwich shop and cannot stop thinking about how good it was. Had to recreate it in my kitchen and did just that yesterday.- Kat
OK, Kat I have never heard of fig jam and tapenade together!! But I love them both. And who doesn’t love good bread?! sounds like something we’ve got to try…
