Whole Wheat Apple Pancakes recipe-
I know everyone gets pumpkin crazy in the fall, but I think apple deserve equal attention! I’ve made several delicious apple desserts over the years as I love them so much! This apple pancake recipe is one that is healthy enough to be a meal, not just a dessert.
How to make whole wheat pancakes –
First lets talk about the apples…You have to saute them in a bit of butter, sugar and cinnamon before you put them in the pancakes. I chopped the apple into 1/2 inch {or a bit smaller} cubes, then put 2 tsp butter in a pan. I also added 1 TBS brown sugar {leave this out for sugar free option} and 1 tsp cinnamon when they are starting to get soft. Don’t add it too early or the cinnamon will burn.
if you have a pancakes recipe that you love, go ahead a use that… here’s mine.

We love pure maple syrup on our pancakes, but you can top with anything you like. Top with honey or pure Syrup {healthy version} and/or whipped cream for a real treat! …Not sure if these Apple Pancakes are a meal or dessert!
