This is perfect Sunday morning brunch treat, as usual, Penzeys has yet to steer me wrong!

Apple Pancakes (from Penzeys)

2 granny smith apples

3/4 cup milk

3/4 cup flour

4 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 stick butter

1/2 cup sugar

2 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide butter into 2 glass pie plates and place in oven, the butter will melt while the rest of the ingredients are assembled.

Combine eggs, flour, vanilla, salt, and milk in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Peel the apples and slice, roughly about one cm. thick. The thickness can vary, but don't them get to thick or they will not cook uniformly.

Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a separate dish. Working in batches, dip the apples in the cinnamon sugar.

Pull the two pie plates out of the oven when butter has melted and swirl the plates to coat with the butter. Arrange the cinnamon sugar dipped apples in the pie plate and divide and pour the batter over the arranged apples, the remaining Cinnamon sugar should be dusted over the prepared dishes. Move the pie plates into the heated oven.

Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees. The pancakes will be light and fluffy when finished. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar and keep some maple sugar close by if you'd like, it's mighty tasty.
