Cinnamon Apple Pancakes

Description: These moist pancakes are a favorite breakfast treat as we sit on the porch in the mornings! The apples are ripe at the same time that the walnut trees and the vineyard are turning a golden yellow with fiery red accents!

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup apple, shredded
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, egg, milk and apple.
2. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sugar. Stir the flour mixture into apple mixture, just until combined (overmixing makes the batter tough!)
3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
4. Brown on both sides and serve hot with cinnamon syrup if you have it!
