Pancakes with fresh apple rings.

Servings

1 medium apples (Granny Smith)
1.25 cup pancake mix
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
1 eggs
2 tsp canola oil
1 cup lowfat milk

1 Lightly coat a griddle or skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
2 Peel, core and thinly slice apple into rings.
3 In a large mixing bowl, combine ingredients for pancake batter. Stir until ingredients are evenly moist. (Small lumps are fine.Over-mixing makes pancakes tough.)
4 For each pancake, place apple ring on griddle and pour about 1/4 cup batter over apple ring, starting in the center and covering the apple.
5 Cook until bubbles appear. Turn and cook other side until lightly brown.

To test the griddle to see if it is hot, sprinkle it with a few drops of water. When the drops sizzle and dance, you are ready to cook! The easiest way to pour the batter onto the hot griddle is to use a 1/4 cup measuring cup for each pancake. If the first pancake is too brown, lower the heat. A fun and delicious way to get the kids to eat their apples!
