Okay, I guess its time to give it up.
But I gotta tell ya, now I know why some women hold onto their recipes and refuse to share. It feels powerful, ladies. Powerful, to have something you want, to know it is soooo yummy on a fall morning, and to know I have it and you don't.
But a Promise is a Promise.
Apple Pancakes :Serves 6-8
Topping Ingredients:
6 apples -- peeled and sliced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup margarine
1/4 cup raisins
Batter Ingredients:
6 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine dry ingredients for batter, add liquids. Blend until smooth. This is the part of the recipe I usually mess with the most. I don't always have six eggs. And last time, I didn't have any flour, so I used Bisquick instead. I actually like the Bisquick better...I also usually add less white sugar, about only 1/4 of cup. Keeping in mind that if you serve this at breakfast to kids, they are going to want to put syrup on it and it doesn't need to really be too sweet. I have also mixed cream with skim milk before because I had extra cream for something else and wanted to use it up.
Melt margarine in oven in a 9" x 13" baking dish.
Pour apples, raisins, and brown sugar into hot margarine, stir until apples are coated and brown sugar is melted.---this being my favorite part, I always do it the same. But not with margarine. EVER. I only bake with real butter. The kids can slather all the Smart Balance "Spread" on their toast they want, but I only ever bake with butter. Because it is a law. My Grandma said so.
Add batter over the top of apples and raisin mix. Bake for 20 minutes at 425 degrees.
(In my oven I cook it slower and longer, 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes--it seems to "set" better. What ever you do, make sure it is done in the middle before taking it out. Because even the kids won't eat the half cooked middle. Trust me on this.)
Cut "pan-cake" into serving pieces.

Mmmm, I think I'll make that this weekend, without the raisons because I'm the only one in the house who likes raisens. Do you know, it took me three tries to spell raisins right?
My brain is fried.
This child is the most precious little sweetie!! The pancakes sound yummy!
I promise, I will honor the giver! I'm not sure when I will make these. Maybe, this Sunday, but when I do I will send photos.
Hugs!

Sounds amazing, honestly... yum.
I don't know why I spend so much money expanding my already enormous cookbook collection when I get most of my recipes off of blogs anyway...
Oh.
My.
I am so making those.
Possibly right this minute too, despite having just eaten breakfast. Sounds so yummy!
Will you come to my house and make them? :o)
Spending the evening catching up on blogs. Great photo! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Hope you have a great weekend!

I will make this, but you forgot to say what kind of apples you use, by gum there has to be at least 90 different types in the stores now-a-days
I made this and it was a hit. You can see my photo and read all about it at either http://weblog.xanga.com/TobyBo orhttp://www.homeschoolblogger.com/CarpeBanana/
Thank you for sharing! I think this will become a brunch favorite. :)
oh, and I forgot to say, enjoy your power. :)
goodness, these are so goodlooking! Yes, I will make these next weekend, my family will love them!

I will be taking this recipe to the Big Blue House. This is a magical two story box of a house in the middle of nowhere (and I mean nowhere) in Whitney, TX. It is surrounded on all sides by cattle ranches and you can hear a pin drop all day and all night if you could hear a pin drop on praire grass. Six of us from church go ocassionally to retreat, take our shoes off, rest, and let our flab flop. The first floor is a huge stone, fireplaced living room, where we eat, drink and yak till the wee hours. Also a huge stone kitchen and dining room where we gab, game, and gaggle. The second story is all bedrooms and bathrooms with a view that would make you weep if you love peace and quiet, praire as far as the eye can see, birds, and the far away low of cattle. By two a.m. we finally make our way up the stairs to the bedrooms. I always claim ahead, the room at the end of the long hall, the only one of the six rooms that is curtained even though it would take a tremendous effort of man or beast to peep on us way out there. It is so desolate here that the first time I slept in this room I was sure in the middle of the night a flying saucer beam would suck me out the window feet first and into its saucer with no one the wiser. We wake to blue sky, sunshine, and the whispering of breezes through orchards. We wake and all meet in the kitchen to cook communally. The cows (who I call the girls) wander right up to the livingroom picture window. This is when we breakout the breakfast goodies and next time I will be providing this recipe. It will be MUCH better than the last things I took there: a professional conga drum set and a very heavy Tjembe drum! Well, I'm going to get some apples. PS. Just for eating, my favs are Fiji and Braeburn apples with cheese and grapes! Thank you for your recipe. Betty
