Apple Ring Pancakes

 
Here's an easy and yummy pancake recipe that's not quite the usual pancake and uses one of my favorite tools - the Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer!

Apple Ring Pancakes
1 Granny Smith apple
1 cup original pancake mix

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions:
1.Peel, core, and slice apple using Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer. Cut apple lengthwise; separate into rings and set aside. Combine pancake mix, cinnamon, milk, egg and oil in Classic Batter Bowl; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. (Batter will be slightly lumpy.)

2. Heat griddle over medium heat until hot. (Drops of water will sizzle, then evaporate.) Lightly spray griddle with vegetable oil using Kitchen Spritzer.

3. For each pancake, place one apple ring on griddle. Starting in center of apple ring, slowly pour scant 1/4 cup batter over apple ring. (Use just enough batter to cover each ring.)

4. Cook 1-2 minutes or until batter is set around edges. Turn using Nylon Turner; cook 1-2 minutes or until pancake is light golden brown. Repeat with additional apple rings and batter.

Yield: 10-12 pancakes
