My husband is the pancake maker in the family and apple cinnamon pancakes are my favorite! He always makes me apple cinnamon and reserves some batter for our daughter and puts chocolate chips in hers (she doesn’t like cooked apples). While these pancakes have a definite fall flavor they are delicious anytime of year. Soft with lightly crisped edges (the secret of the edges is to use butter to grease your hot pan) you will find they quickly disappear off the plate!

Making pancakes from scratch is really easy (and a fraction of the price of boxed mix) but you could of course use a mix and just add the apples and cinnamon. đ

August 30, 2014 at 12:01 pmThat is sweet that your husband customizes your pancakes to your individual tastes.
My husband is the pancake maker in our house, too-almost every Sunday. Whole wheat with blueberries=my favorite.
I do the waffles and French toast, but have seldom made pancakes. And when I make waffles, it’s usually for dinner.
It works for us because he’s a morning person and I am NOT. đ
Pancakes-comfort food for all your hard work packing! Yum!

I use the Easy Recipe plug-in. I decided that since I’m going to be doing more recipes that it would be easier for people to print out instead of having to cut and paste into Word or whatever.
