Apple Spice Pancakes

From the kitchen of
Castle Valley Inn
Moab, Utah

Ingredients

2 cups peeled, cored, and slices fresh apples
1/4 cup butter or canola oil
1/2 cup brown sugar or 1/3 cup sucanot
2 tsps cinnamon
1/2 cup toasted pecans or pine nuts

real maple syrup

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Warm maple syrup in a pan of hot water. Preheat griddle to 350 degrees. SautŽ slices apples in butter or oil until they become fragrant. Add brown sugar or sucanot and cinnamon. Gently turn to mix all ingredients then simmer until sugar has melted. Keep warm

Sprinkle nuts on a flat pan bake for 3-5 minutes until lightly brown. Make sure to watch very closely until the nuts are done. (It is very easy to burn nuts.)

Mix enough pancake batter for 18 pancakes. On hot griddle pour 6, 4 inch pancakes. Do not over load your griddle. Cook until bubbles appear on the uncooked side, then flip and finishing cooking. Arrange three pancake on a heated plate. Arrange 1/3 cup cooked apples on top of the pancakes in the same direction, carefully arrange the nuts also in the same direction. Sprinkle powdered sugar across and serve with butter and warm maple syrup.

This breakfast has been a favorite at the Castle Valley Inn for many years. Even our guests who prefer not to eat breakfast often times find this breakfast too hard to pass up.

During late June when our apricots are fresh from our orchard we substitute them for apples in the above recipe. In late August we substitute our wonderful red plums.
